There is not enough information in this report to actually do anything about debugging the problem. You don't even mention what shell you are using as /bin/sh; what you have in /etc/environemnt; what you have in the configuration files for the rot user, whether you have tried any debugging echo statements (or set -x); whether you have wnything in /etc/profile In other words, an important bug on general, no attempt to resolve the problem, and no infromation to allow other to help with the problem either. I would expect a better report from a developer. manoj -- The right half of the brain controls the left half of the body. This means that only left handed people are in their right mind.
