Hi, We were having problems on the 4D's selecting a login shell with a long pathname. E.g. /usr/brl/bin/tcsh, or /usr/brl/bin/tbsh, when used as a login shell out of /etc/passwd would cause some PostScript garbage to be displayed in the console window. All new windows (shells) would immediately exist. I found that copying these shells to /bin fixed this problem. Perhaps there is something in the 4Sight startup proceedure that is overrunning a $SHELL path buffer?? I know this problem exists in at least 3.1C and 3.1G. - Phil
