The bash process on the Red Hat system thinks it's being ran with a LANG setting of "en_US.UTF-8", so man pages and whatnot output chars in this language. Your term emulator is expecting things to be in Vt100, and w/out the UTF settings. This causes the garble. There are 2 ways to fix this. A) Set your LANG to en_US or posix or C on the Red Hat box. (/etc/sysconfig/i18n) OR set your securecrt to be able to interprete utf chars. I'm unsure how to do this. -- Jesse Keating j2Solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (www.mondorescue.org) Was I helpful?
