What exactly is /etc/environment for, and how is it used. The only thing I'm aware of it being used in is for the locales package, and all that does is make perl give me warnings when it's run as a user on my i386, but not as root. And no warnings with either user or root on my PowerPC.
I'm confuzzled. (BTW, this is what's in my /etc/environment. For my account, this means 'LANG' is set to en_AU.UTF-8) LANG=en_AU And another quick question: is there an ssh setting that would override my preferences for X11 forwarding? ssh -X from i386a->i386b forwards OK. ssh -X from ppc->i386a forwards OK. ssh -X from i386a->ppc doesn't set DISPLAY and doesn't create a listening port forwarder. I'm slightly confuzzled by this. Otherwise there might be a ppc bug in ssh...
