CentOS 6: Language Mess With Ssh
When I connect through SSH to my CentOS 6 box, language are mixed:
connection is in english but password change dialog is in french. Example:
$ SSH aa@quercy You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced)
Last login: Fri Oct 30 11:41:31 2015 from quercy WARNING: Your password has expired. You must change your password now and login again!
Changement de mot de passe pour l’utilisateur aa. Nouveau mot de passe :
Retapez le nouveau mot de passe :
(Current) Password:
passwd : mise à jour réussie de tous les jetons d’authentification. Connection to quercy closed.
I tried: “LANG=C SSH aa@quercy” and I get the same mess.
Is it possible to get password change dialog in english ?

Thank you for you help.
I tried your tips but the problem remains. Example:
$ echo “SendEnv LANG LC_ALL” > ~/.ssh/config
$ LANG=C; export LANG; LC_ALL=C; export LC_ALL
$ SSH aa@quercy You are required to change your password immediately (root enforced)

MOT DE PASSE INCORRECT : BEAUCOUP trop court

Maybe you also need to put “AcceptEnv LANG” in /etc/ssh/sshd_config on the remote system, to tell it to honour the LANG being sent?
Cheers Tony
If I put “export LANG=C” in /etc/sysconfig/sshd and restart sshd, all messages are in english. It seems that LANG is taken into account only when connection succeeds.

Have you changed your password? If not, you’re not really logged in, and it’s not getting things like language settings from your home directory.
