One of your logon profiles (/etc/profile, .profile, .bash_profile, .bashrc...) probably contains the line IGNOREEOF=1. Remove it and ^D will log you out. It's basically just there to prevent people from hitting ^D one time too many and accidentally logging out. -- Geek Code 3.1: GCS d- s+: a- C++ UL++$ P+>+++ L++>++++ E- W--(++) N+ o+ !K w---$ O M- !V PS+ PE Y+ PGP t 5++ X+ R++ tv- b++ DI++++ D G e* h+ r++ y+
