/etc/profile is the usual place, but are you sure you want to do that? That would have no effect here because I clobber whatever the system gives me in my own startup scripts. btw, defining LC_ALL=C is heavy-handed overkill. Better would be LANG. I also set LC_COLLATE=C. Here's what I end up with: (0) heretic /home/keeling_ locale LANG=en_US.iso885915 LC_CTYPE="en_US.iso885915" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.iso885915" LC_TIME="en_US.iso885915" LC_COLLATE=C LC_MONETARY="en_US.iso885915" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.iso885915" LC_PAPER="en_US.iso885915" LC_NAME="en_US.iso885915" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.iso885915" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.iso885915" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.iso885915" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.iso885915" LC_ALL= LC_ALL isn't even set! -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
