Have you tried setting it in .bashrc? Depending on how a shell comes into existence, .bash_profile may or may not run, but .bashrc always will. (Or, more accurately, bash will run either .bash_profile or .bashrc on startup, depending on how it's called, but the default Debian .bash_profile starts off by running .bashrc.) -- I reckon we are now the only monastry ever that had a dungeon stuffed with sixteen thousand zombies. - perlmonks.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
