To see if this was the problem (and maybe fix it) you could do: $ cp -r /etc/skel/* ~ as the user in question. That will copy the contents of /etc/skel, such as .bashrc, across into the user's home directory. If Daviey was right about this source of the problem this may solve it. -- Graham Binns | PGP Key: 4DAD18FA -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
