SSH

• Get a perl error about missing locale when logging in from Griffin:

perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
	LANGUAGE = (unset),
	LC_ALL = (unset),
	LC_PAPER = "fr_BE.UTF-8",
	...
	LC_NAME = "fr_BE.UTF-8",
	LANG = "en_US.UTF-8"
    are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

• This is fixed by telling sshd not to accept locale env var. from the client. Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

# AcceptEnv LANG LC_*
AcceptEnv LANG
