-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If you are using bash, it has a built in command called pwd. Type 'finger -m username'. You can also look in /etc/passwd to see what shell your user is supposed to use.
There may be more than one version installed. What happens when you type 'which pwd' without the quotes? Can you open another session on this box either with ssh or ALT-F<num>?
