Do all of those users have a shell in common? For example are they all tcsh users? Do they have features in their .profile, .login, or .cshrc in common? I'm a "tcsh" user, so I'd use "set verbose" in my .cshrc so that I could see what the shell is doing, how far it's getting, etc. You can do something similar with "bash", I think it's "set -x" in your .profile, see the man page. Other shells support something similar. I surmise that all of your sub-shells are exiting, and thus screen exits because it has nothing to run. You should be able to track this down without expending much adrenaline :-) From: Casper BodenCummins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > THERE SEEMS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY CAPS KEY!
