I occasionally get locale errors and I've tried to run dpkg-reconfigure locales to fix the problem. Here's the output:

:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
perl: warning: Setting locale failed.

I looked for /usr/bin/locale but it doesn't exist on my system. Do I need to create it? What do I put in there?

Also I found a related question that says the cause of his problem was in the sshd_config file. The file had the following entry:

AcceptEnv LANG LC_*

I'm mainly concerned that it may cause problems for my VPS, otherwise if it's nothing major I'll be happy to ignore the problem. What should I do? thanks!

Forgive the noob-ness of my question, but I'm taking baby steps.

I've read about why it is important to use SSH keys for logging into my server. However it seems to me that this is most useful if you only login to the server from one computer.

What if I'm away from my regular computer and need to login to the server?

Thanks
