Sorry, I don't know, but you can also define the cahrset and lang
variables in your tcshrc, cshrc or bashrc (depends on the used shell).

Yes, you have a Russian entry in the login.conf - why not? In the
login.conf you can define several login classes and in the fifth column
of the master.passwd you can specify the login class for each user. If
no login class is specifed the login class "default" is used.
