I upgraded to RH 9 from 7.3. I thought that all was working properly but I just ran into a strange one with su. I'm sure that I was able as root to just do a su gerry and I would become user "gerry". However, when I try that now I become user "gerry" but the following error message is printed out... /bin/bash: /root/.bashrc: Permission denied I can eliminate the error message by just doing a su - gerry Also, as "gerry" I can su to root or another user without error (just asked for the correct password). It's only when I try to su as root to another user without the "-" that causes the error. Anyone know why this has started to happen? -- Gerry "The lyfe so short, the craft so long to learne" Chaucer -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
