Point taken. I tried this out on RHL 7.2 and giving parameters to the password file didnt work. But, I have done this before on some earlier version of RH. BTW, on my Mandrake 8.2, specifying the parameter in the password file worked! :!! > binaries to there. If you have vim, cp it into that dir as rvim, Oh wonderful. Didnt know this at all.

Ohh, and don't set up paths and Hmm, always interested in knowing something new. I kind of knew that a ftp could drop you into a shell. But have never been able to do that. How could one go about doing it?? Any pointers? > such in .profile - users may overwrite it! Make sure you make > other variables readonly. Set the PATH to the new "bin" style > tree only! How would one go about doing this. What I did was slightly kludgy, so would really appreciate comments.. Usually how do you go about doing this part. Cos I feel this is the trickiest and the most important part... Regards Dhar
