>Description:
When using a UTF-8 locale, such as ro_RO.UTF-8, and starting mrtg_daemon from rc.d, the following error will display, and mrtg will refuse to start:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: Mrtg will most likely not work properly when the environment
       variable LANG is set to UTF-8. Please run mrtg in an environment
       where this is not the case. Try the following command to start:

       env LANG=C /usr/local/bin/mrtg --pid-file /var/run/mrtg/mrtg.pid --lock-file /var/run/mrtg/lockfile --confcache-file /var/run/mrtg/confcache --user mrtg --group mrtg --daemon /usr/local/etc/mrtg/mrtg.cfg 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

>How-To-Repeat:
1) install net-mgmt/mrtg
2) in csh type:

# setenv LANG ro_RO.UTF-8
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mrtg_daemon.sh forcestart
