Re: Linux profile - a little offtopic
Hi . profile and its associates for the other shells need only be read only for the user. It is common behavior on a production server to have the majority of users profiles linked to a central profile file so it is only editable by the System Admin. This keeps a potential security hole at bay by not allowing users access to the .profiles or whatever you use for the user shell. If the changes to .profile are not changing your shell then you are using a different shell. On Linux you will be almost certainly using bash by default so you will need to put changes in .bashrc or maybe .bash_profile HTH Peter At 08:55 PM 1/07/2001 -0800, you wrote: Kimberly, Since .profile is of little use unless sourced, why make it executable?

Kimberly, Since .profile is of little use unless sourced, why make it executable? Maybe I missed something here, but I've never used an executable .profile.

What shell are you using? Different shell uses different startup filename.

Re: Linux profile - a little offtopic
also, try man bash (or whatever your shell is). It will explain what files are sourced under which circumstances. george On Saturday, June 30, 2001, at 01:20 PM, Gregory Conron wrote: On June 30, 2001 01:30 pm, Csillag Zsolt wrote: Hi, Since I'd like to install Oracle for Linux, I need to change the profile for user 'oracle'.
