-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi managers Surprisingly few responses to my eariler question. Crist Clark asked if users were actually using 'login' to login. We're using Solaris 9 standard SSH, the OpenBSD derived version supplied by Sun. In our previous Solaris 8 build, we used commercial SSH. It is possible that one respects the settings in '/etc/default/login' and the other does not. Hicheal Morton suggested making changes to /etc/profile. I good suggestion, and one that will work for 90% our of users; however, this is apparently ignored by some shells, e.g. C shell. Also, I'd need to script around the SUPATH and PATH issues. Andrew Wu said check the /etc/profile, skel profiles and installed .profile for changes; no dice, they all leave the PATH alone. Thanks to all who responded. Ahau K'in Original question enclosed.
