I recently debugged this. I share my home directory from a NetApp filer
such that I can use it from Cygwin or the various Linux machines at my
client (largely CentOS). Recently I started seeing:
Adefaria-lt:ssh cm-db-ltest01
locale: invalid option -- 'u'
Try `locale --help' or `locale --usage' for more information.
Cm-db-test01:
Hunting this down I found that I have a ~/.profile now (didn't have one
before) and contained therein is the following:
# Set user-defined locale
export LANG=$(locale -uU)
Turns out that on CentOS locale doesn't support -uU. Now this .profile
came from a refreshing of Cygwin. How best to handle this...

Sounds like cygwin's base-files should be updated to guard
cygwin-specific .profile contents to only occur when uname says it is
running on cygwin. I'm sure the maintainer would love patches...

You can guard that with something as simple as:
case $(uname) in
CYGWIN*) export LANG=$(locale -uU) ;;
esac
(hmm, the moment you also share the .profile with a Solaris box, you'd
have to use `` instead of $(), but that's another story)

Is Solaris still that backward?!? I haven't been on a Solaris box for
quite some time. Life's been good...

I'm listening... although default ~/.profile only gets installed if it
wasn't previously existing and I know of no other system that would
explicitly guard their default files for the possibility that these would be
shared with other systems (except the SunOS->Solaris transition). Another
(or even better) option would be to move these kind of local setup into
/etc/profile.d.
Regards,
Achim.
