I haven't encountered that, at least on RedHat. I routinely override stuff in /etc/profile in my local .bash_profile. The bash manpage is pretty explicit that /etc/profile is read first. Are some distros doing something silly like sourcing /etc/profile in .bash_profile? -- David Brodbeck System Administrator, Linguistics University of Washington _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
