Could you define "path setup correctly", "correct paths" and "path's are screwed up"??? Are you talking about physical paths or paths that will be searched when you execute a command? If the later, the paths will be determined why who you "are". If you log in as root, the paths will be determined by the shell config for root, not the config for a user. Check the .bashrc file in the root directory and compare it to the one in your user account folders. I suspect you'll find your answers there. Cheers --- Larry
