[SOLVED]/etc/rc.conf DAEMON_LOCALE=?

I always put DAEMON_LOCALE="no" in the machines where I install linux, but I am afraid I am missing something.

Is there a reason to give daemons a different locale than C?

thanks,
etb

When you want to have them in your native lang, use e.g.

LOCALE="pl_PL.UTF-8"
DAEMON_LOCALE="yes"

+ the consolefont hook in mkinitcpio if necessary for any special fonts.

The daemons? But you do not use them directly, do you?

Edit:
No wait, maybe I got it. It is for daemons like cups that give a web interface?

The messages are localized e.g. booting with DAEMON_LOCALE="no"

Wed Feb  1 13:41:52 2012: :: Checking Filesystems    [BUSY] /dev/sda1: clean, 30/26208 files, 21723/104420 blocks
Wed Feb  1 13:41:52 2012: /dev/sda4: clean, 128222/1941504 files, 5825592/7755378 blocks

v. the settings I posted in the previous post:

Sat Jan  7 00:47:01 2012: :: Checking Filesystems    [BUSY] /dev/sda3: czysty, 99701/480496 plików, 827457/1921775 bloków
