Yep. Which again leads me to believe that somehow you aren't using bash as your shell. While you are logged in, you can type echo $SHELL or echo $shell (csh uses lower case while bourne-related shells use upper). You can also cat or grep /etc/passwd to get your shell setting or, if you have installed finger, you can finger your user. To set bash as your shell, use the following: usermod -s /bin/bash username Ric -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
