check the default shell for the user 'logu'. I don't think 'sh-2.05a$' is the default prompt for bash. It is the default prompt for sh (the Bourne Shell). If I am right your .bash_profile is not being read at all during the login. But I can't understand how the customised prompt works only during an 'su' command. -- Chiranth [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://symonds.net/~chiranth ICQ : 116200206 _______________________________________________________________ Hundreds of nodes, one monster rendering program.
