Hi: When using ksh as the shell for a user on Linux-Mandrake 8.0, the .profile is not executed. I also tried this: $ su - test Password: [1] 1388 ksh: /etc/profile.d/mc.sh[12]: export: -f: unknown option [1] + Done (1) export -f mc $ where test is a user using ksh. It looks to me that something in bash is not compatible with ksh. Do you have the same problem? ksh users?? I submitted this as a bug to Mandrake but have not gotten a response yet. Can anybody help? I need ksh. Thanks Jason _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
