CentOS - May 2021 - Weird localectl behavior under CentOS 7

OK, I experimented some more, and now I'm puzzled.

1. When I'm connected directly (physically) to the server, LANG is set
correctly: en_US.utf8 for both root and non-root users.

2. When I'm opening a remote SSH session, LANG is set to fr_FR.UTF_8 for
both
root and non-root users.

What's going on here ?

Hi Nicolas,

it works as expected because SSH sends these vars:

/etc/ssh/ssh_config: SendEnv LANG LC_CTYPE LC_NUMERIC ...

/etc/ssh/sshd_config: AcceptEnv LANG LC_CTYPE LC_NUMERIC ...
