So if you do ls -l .bash* in your home directory, what's the output? [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! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

Umm, not that I actually know anything about this, but I find it hard to imagine that a file written by root wouldn't be owned by root and would not exclude the user from being able to write to it.

When you set them as root they only applied to the root session; exiting back to user space removed them. You want to delete the current .bash_history file as it is probably only writable by root.
