How to set the system's default and user's own LOCALE and LANG (also, what
is the exact difference)? Pointing LC_CTYPE or LOCALE or LANG to the full
pathes does not work. Even if LOCALE and LANG are set to the valid system
wide name, ls would not list a file with 8 bit (cyrillic) name properly --
all I see is ?????. Thanks!
