I can't find the original email sent on this topic, but it says that the hostname was replaced with the bash-2.05$. Are you simply referring to the prompt? Or is the hostname actually saying it's bash-2.05$? As for the request for a standard /etc/skel/.bashrc and /etc/skel/.bash_profile, here's what I have. I have edited mine a bit since I do have a few users that log on remotely to this machine. ========================================================== [root@r2d2 skel]# less .bashrc # .bashrc # Source global definitions if [ -r /etc/bashrc ]; then . /etc/bashrc fi [root@r2d2 skel]# less .bash_profile # .bash_profile # Get the aliases and functions if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin USERNAME=`id -nu` USERID=`id -nu` export PATH USERNAME USERID BASH_ENV=$HOME/.bashrc ========================================================== On some of my machines I actually have a simple /etc/skel/.aliases and I add a line in /etc/skel/.bash_profile that reads: souce $HOME/.aliases I'm pretty sure I just misunderstood what you were talking about with the bash-2.05$ for a hostname, but if that's the case, edit /etc/sysconfig/network to have all your correct information. Hope that comes in handy. tdh -- T. Holmes ----------------- UNIXTECHS.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------- "Real Men Use Vi!"
