Yep, that's ok. > Do we still want the base-files profile to have the message wrt group > names of mkpassword/mkgroup/mkgroup_l_d? Hmm, well, it doesn't hurt a lot, right? Using the new mkpasswd and mkgroup will probably reduce printing this message a lot, if not entirely. > Are there any other changes wanted?

Yes, I'm using tcsh, but your scripts don't have to care for them since everything's already done in csh.login and csh.cshrc. Including setting MAKE_MODE=unix :) > My Debian /etc/profile sets EDITOR=vim useful? (not if you've not > installed vim I suppose; vi?) I think setting EDITOR should be a user choice, but I'm not strongly opposing the idea, especially given that I'm vim user anyway ;). > /etc/bash.bashrc has the following in both Debian and Ubuntu (not a > suprise I suppose); > > # check the window size after each command and, if necessary, > # update the values of LINES and COLUMNS. > shopt -s checkwinsize > > would it work in cygwin? Also; Looks like bash on Cygwin doesn't set LINES and COLUMNS.
