[EMAIL PROTECTED] blissfix $ ls -l .bash* -rw-r--r-- 1 blissfix users 0 Jul 6 14:59 .bash_history -rw-r--r-- 1 blissfix users 232 Jul 2 21:12 .bash_profile -rw-r--r-- 1 blissfix users 812 Jul 2 21:12 .bashrc Note: this .bash_history was manually created w/ nano, whereas some hidden process created the one in root. And if I delete the home version another doesn't pop up on its own. BTW, the root version of .bash_history is chockful of retrospective goodness :). Also, each home console session preserves a record somewhere; the up arrow can access those. Even if I logout in and out they're still there. It's just when rebooting the unit they disappear. Where are they kept, I wonder. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
