Sol 10 on SUN V490: Setting LOCALE

Hi all,

We've upgraded/migrated our production server from Sol 9 on a Sun V480 to Sol 10 on a V490 server.

How do I set/change the following values on Solaris 10:

Solaris 9:
$> locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_NUMERIC=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_TIME=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_COLLATE=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_MONETARY=en_US.ISO8859-1
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.ISO8859-1"
LC_ALL=en_US.ISO8859-1

On the Solaris 10 the current values are:
$> locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE="C"
LC_NUMERIC="C"
LC_TIME="C"
LC_COLLATE="C"
LC_MONETARY="C"
LC_MESSAGES="C"
LC_ALL=

Thanx
Thys de Wet

# TZ, LANG, CMASK, or any of the LC_* environment variables. value may
# be enclosed in double quotes (") or single quotes (').
#
TZ=Europe/Vienna
CMASK=022
LC_COLLATE=de_AT.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE=de_AT.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES=de.UTF-8
LC_MONETARY=de_AT.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC=de_AT.UTF-8
LC_TIME=de_AT.UTF-8
root@mp-wst01 #

you can find your installed locales in /usr/lib/locale, or try the command "locale -a". for the current session you can set it with "export LC_ALL=<locale>"

regards
