Generally LOGNAME is set by login, sshd or whatever program you login with. If this is linux you generally shouldn't change those parts of /etc/profile unless you have a "strange" setup and you know what you're doing and you're absolutely sure you know what you're doing. > MAIL="/var/spool/mail/$USER" Correct with the default settings.

Don't add it to your /etc/profile unless you know where to place it. and it may be a bit distro-specific. > > export PATH USER LOGNAME MAIL HOSTNAME HISTSIZE INPUTRC MONITOR_EXEC > VPB_TONE (and insert here VPB_TONE) > > ============================================================================ > ====================== > > The 400 100 and 500 are related to your country use indications file for > info > on what those values should be. > > Regards > Doug Most Linux distros have /etc/profile.d where you can add your custom .sh scriptlets to add some vaiables without stepping over the default /etc/profile so you don't have you worry about upgrades of the distro's packages. In my Debian system there is no such thing. However I see /etc/environment with has lines of 'var=value', and the pam module pam_env.so loads it at login time. I don't know if this is used with other distros. -- Tzafrir Cohen | New signature for new address and | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | new homepage | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849755 | Space reserved for other protocols | friend _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
