Saying set foo = bar is a legal bash statement that will set $1 $2 and $3 equal to foo, = and bar, which is not what you want. I AM ASSUMING that you are logging to a terminal and not running xdm/gdm/kdm. The game is totally different in that case. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
