Hi shawn & Andrew: clientLogin actually resides in /var/ltsp/bin on all 3 dir the permissions are 755
So I am not in /root It is not the su command that causes the error. I will try on Monday Andrews' su suggestion. The catch is that the script gets launched during pam authentication According to the doc it is executed as the user that logs in, so during development I try executing it as one of the users. When I launch the current script during login I see the error showing up in my /var/log/messages but execution stops. where as in interactive mode the echo/touch gets executed (I replaced echo with touch to see if a file gets created in $HOME during log in) Google wasn't much help full either. Thanks for the suggestions.
