And, it sounds like (possibly) running Mandrake linux and accessing home on a SuSE box will fall into an infinite loop, and (definitely) running Red Hat will do so. This sounds like a dubious feature to me. cgf

One thing that might be useful: SuSE Linux sets PROFILEREAD=yes as first thing in /etc/profile and all $HOME/.profile depend on this and read /etc/profile if this is not set. Running cygwin and accessing homes on a SuSE box will fall into an never ending loop. So it would be great, if PROFILEREAD=yes could be set in the default /etc/profile. bye ago -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gotti.org ICQ: 126018723 phone: +49 3725 349 80 80 mobile: +49 172 7854017 4.
