Do you have source .bashrc As the last line of your .bash_profile? That might help. Note, just in case you didn't know this. After making changes to these files it is not necessary to exit and relogin. Just enter . .bash_profile As long as you have the above in .bash_profile, any changes to either file will take effect. Oh, welcome to Debian. You won't be sorry you switched from RH!! Wayne -- Unix IS user friendly. It's just selective about who its friends are. _______________________________________________________ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
