thanks: Well, I use the su utility came with the system. All i did was installation of /bin/bash for root user account toor. I used "vipw" for editting, then I am getting that trouble. Once i go back to /bin/sh, the file su.gmon will stop showing up ... Can't figure out why ... btw, i did turn out the profilling features whne i compiled the bash, could that be the problem? --- Matthew Seaman <m.seaman@infracaninophile.co.uk> wrote: > On Thu, Sep 05, 2002 at 01:32:11PM -0700, mingo lu > wrote: > > > thanks.
