but this happens only if you use bash. i use tcsh as my regular shell and i don't see this problem. when i am logged in as root using bash as my shell things start to break. also, bash doesn't seem to export environment variables. this breaks a lot of scripts. we better get this fixed soon. --alex-- -- | I believe the moment is at hand when, by a paranoiac and active | | advance of the mind, it will be possible (simultaneously with | | automatism and other passive states) to systematize confusion | | and thus to help to discredit completely the world of reality. |
