[QUOTE="masaka___, post: 21732"] I totally missed this post, but it explains a lot. Let me guess -- you're typing "login" at the shell prompt, and logging in as someone else. If that's the case, let me show you a better way to log in as someone else. su - username ...where username is the name of the person you want to log in as. FYI, login is not a program that you normally execute from the shell. Instead, it's usually started by a program called getty, but that's another story. [/QUOTE]
