if you want to change some user-wide property, you might want to avoid actually editing /etc system files. while this will work, any changes you make to files like /etc/profile or /etc/bashrc will be lost if you upgrade and the upgrade installs a new copy of that file. you're better off adding extra files to the directory /etc/profile.d, which are sourced automatically from the bottom of /etc/profile. that way, you can keep all your changes in the same place, and it's much easier after an upgrade to just restore your extra files to that directory. rday -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
