Applications that provide remote access such as ssh or zlogin might perform locale negotiation, which is an attempt to match current user locale setting against the potentially different set of locales available on the remote location. This process can have unexpected results, for example:
User expects to get a shell with the remote system's default system locale but gets a different, negotiated locale.
User expects to get a negotiated locale but because it is not available, the shell is set up with default system locale.
For more information about the locale negotiation mechanism in Secure Shell, see ssh(1) and sshd(1M) man pages.
