Sorry, my mistake. I forgot, I only see this on my girlfriend's machine, and I assume its because she prefers tcsh to bash. Haven't been able to do it with bash. Here's an example anyhow :) jelly ~ > ls -ald drwx------ 18 jelly jelly 2048 May 22 10:34 ./ jelly ~ > su box Password: shell-init: could not get current directory: getwd: cannot access parent directories box /home/jelly > ls ls: .: Permission denied box /home/jelly > su --version su (GNU sh-utils) 1.16 Rob.
