SSH

I managed to install and sort out the SSH on OpenSUSE 12.1…
After knowing what I had to do, I had a newly installed server up and running just 45min
Thats impressive for a Linux Newbie like me. Which only goes to prove what a good job the guys behind OpenSUSE are doing.

Anyways every time I login through the SSH on my Mac, just before the prompt I get this line

/usr/bin/manpath: can’t set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct

Any idea what this means. I’m able to login and work on the server without a problem, its just that this message comes in on the terminal every time I login and I don’t know if there was a problem with the installation or if that means something else that needs adjusting…

I assume you’re SSH-ing in from the Mac to the OpenSUSE box. On your
Mac do you have (before SSH-ing) environment variables named LANG and
things starting with LC_? Find out with the env command I presume
(like on Linux). These variables are usually passed from client to
server which is nice since that usually means your server will use your
language settings and not whatever the system defaults are. If your
client is not sending those, though, not sure how the server will
respond. Perhaps the server can be set to use defaults, but yours is
not… perhaps. Try SSH-ing from the OpenSUSE box to itself to see if
the problem happens; if not, fix the Mac client.

Good luck.

As I understand you want to connect to your Mac from Opensuse. I have a Mac but never encountered these errors. I would suggest to try conneting to yourself first as ab suggested and then if you don’t have a problem let me know and I will try in my network the same so we can figure it out what’s going on.
