When I login to the Unix-PC somewhere in the login process there is a cd to /u/$LOGNAME/Filecabinet. If the user doesn't have a Filecabinet, as some users do not (uucpadm for instance) the error message: cannot cd to /usr/$LOGNAME/Filecabinet whips by. I think I tracked this down to the login process. But does anyone know if we can turn off this attempt to cd to a non-existent directory?? I hate programs that make unusual assumptions, why can't it just cd to the directory listed in /etc/passwd & stay there?? -Tanya #-------------------------------------------------# | Tanya Katz (516) 231-5400 x430 | | | | ...uunet!ncrlnk!adds!tanya | | tanya.katz@adds.newyork.ncr.com | | | | ADDS Inc, 100 Marcus Blvd, Hauppauge, NY 11788 | #-------------------------------------------------#

If you are not using UA (as seems likely), then don't call UA from your .profile. -- Harold Bamford
