Thanks for that. In the end I installed a copy of FC3 as this is just a test machine, and I got it to work fine. Looking back I wonder if I had been root rather than lfs when I created the files, although I cannot see how this would make a difference.

Just for Info: if you have been root instead of user lfs then a

cat > ~/.bash_profile << "EOF"

creates the file .bash_profile in the /root/ directory instead of /home/lfs/. So logging in as user lfs there is no .bash_profile which can be read.
