Igor, I appreciate your input -
>> you can actually *have* two users, e.g., "Alan Miles" and >> "Alan_Miles", That possibility had not occurred to me - thanks for pointing that flaw out. Since, this for me, is a problem at home, and not at work -I would have to investigate this in my own time. The perl items I need for both home and work, so I can investigate that item there. I could (when I have some time) look at determining what scripts need fixing - once such "broken" script would be /etc/profile: > cp -a /etc/skel/. $HOME should probably read: > cp -a /etc/skel/. "$HOME" Igor, if I could get a list of such patches together, could you provide me with a "sanity" check (like you already have done). That way any flawed reasoning can be dealt with. Meanwhile, Kaio, if you don't have two users, maybe (at least for the moment), my manual solution would fix your problem.
