ssh locale issue ??

We have a client running on a Red Hat Linux Server that is connecting via ssh to a remote server running HP-UX....

When they do there ssh they get the following locale warning:

Warning! One or more of your selected locales are not available.

Please invoke the commands "locale" and "locale -a" to verify your

selections and the available locales.

Continuing processing using the "C" locale.

Is there something I need to do on the Linux server to resolve this or can it be ignored ???

C is the default, so you can ignore it,
but you normally shouldn't get this message
Does this happen on any user and/or root ?

What does

# locale

show on the Linux box before doing the ssh.

On the HPUX box, if do a 'su - user' locally to the user that you're tyring to come in as, then what does

# locale

show when you're that user.

Does same happen for telnet?

env | grep -e LANG -e LC

C, the American nerd locale, is probably fine.
Do you set LANG in your .profile on in /etc/profile?
