hello Ajit, this is probably because the other user has some other default shell - not bash. you can find what is the shell for a user by looking at the /etc/passwd file - the last field (7th) in the user's entry is the selected shell. if you do not want to change the shell entry in the passwd file you can always run bash manually after you do su.
hope this helps Stoyan Angelov ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ajit Warrier" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, October 20, 2003 11:29 PM Subject: [Solaris-Users] History in BASH > Hi list, > > I am a rank newbie so plaease dont be harsh with me.
