I haven't touched bashrc, nsswitch, anything in /etc/pam.d nor inittab. Since i'm
also not the only admin, i did a diff on my test box of the defaults and
the ones in production to make sure. Nothing changed. I did make a small change to
roots .bash_profile to export a few additional env variables needed for
ADSM. I posted the changed file as well, incase i'm just blind and
something about that is incorrect. Edited .bash_profile:

Thanks.
