.gmon is the standard profiling extension. i am not sure what you mean by turn "out" the profiling features, but rebuild bash with the profiling turned off. alternatively, you should install bash from the freebsd ports tree. simply do: pkg_add -r bash that will fetch bash, install it to the PROPER location (/usr/local/bin), and add it to the /etc/group file. then, for user toor, you can make its shell /usr/local/bin/bash -Adam >> (09.06.2002 @ 2143 PST): mingo lu said, in 1.9K: << > thanks: > > Well, I use the su utility came with the system.
