After logging in on a gnome window, I often go to Accessories
and root terminal. I have several shell variable setting and
some other small tasks at the beginning. When I first set the
system up, I had a file that did these things for me. However,
I want to change a few things and I've forgotten what file is supposed
to be edited.
I've tried /etc/.profile and /root/.bashrc, among other things,
but I'm still getting the same behavior as before.
Your login startup scripts are where you ought to be looking.
Assuming bash is your login shell, see $HOME/.bashrc,
$HOME/.bash_profile, and $HOME/.profile. Anything in there will
override/clobber whatever's defined by /etc stuff.
As for root terminals, see the same in $HOME while logged in as root.
FYI, bare cd takes you $HOME. set will show you what's defined.
Perhaps you ought to supply a better description of the problem. HTH.
