Hello everyone,
My slackBox has an err. on root account as following:
If I am typing for eg.
'#man kill' then its output exposed as:
KILL(1)             Linux Programmer�<80><99>s Manual             KILL(1)

NAME
       kill �<88><92> terminate a process

SYNOPSIS
       kill [ �<88><92�<88><92>s signal | �<88><92�<88><92>p ] [ �<88><92�<88>
<92>a ] [ �<88><92�<88><92>�<88><92�<88><92> ] pid ...
       kill �<80><90�<80><90>l [ signal ]

DESCRIPTION
       The  command kill sends the specified signal to the speci­
       fied process or process group.  If no signal is specified,
       the  TERM  signal is sent.  The TERM signal will kill pro­
       cesses which do not catch this  signal.   For  other  pro­
       cesses,  it  may  be necessary to use the KILL (9) signal,
       since this signal cannot be caught.

       Most modern shells have a builtin kill  function,  with  a
       usage  rather  similar  to  that  of the command described
       here. The �<80><98>�<80><90>a�<80><99> and �<80><98>�<80><90>p�<80><99> o
ptions, and  the  possibility  to
       specify pids by command name is a local extension.
lines 1-23 
etc...

Notes:
1. The err. only happens on root account
2. it occurs with some commands only such as 'kill', 'pppd' and so on
Almost of commands are appearing normal
3. normal users do not have err. like that
4. My locale: LANG=en_US.ISO8859-1. However, b4 i changed locale to
en_AU.UTF-8 default of LANG=C. After I switched to UTF-8 and back to
LANG=C, problem happens. Even tho' I changed back to default, or
en_US.ISO8859-1.
has Anyone experienced w/ this kind of err. pls help me. I am very
appreciated.
kind regards
