Correct. > Perhaps I need to test a little bit more. All I can think of is that some other script is undoing what you set (e.g. /etc/profile or the user's ~/.bash_profile', `~/.bash_login', and `~/.profile'). One thing you might try is to temporarily add lines such as the following to each of the above: echo .profile: $LC_COLLATE >> /tmp/BASH_DEBUG making sure /tmp/BASH_DEBUG is world-writeable of course. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
