Description

Tried to run $ACCUMULO_HOME/bin/generate_monitor_certificate.sh to enable SSL with the monitor and got an error on OSX. In talking with billie.rinaldi, she mentioned that she initially wrote it to work on OSX, so I was surprised.

The error comes out of redirecting /dev/urandom into tr to generate some random characters, which tr complains:

tr: Illegal byte sequence

It appears that maybe the LC_CTYPE default for OSX changed (or maybe just my shell?). Making a change as that link describes appears to fix the script for me.
