I can try to run all the X programs from the directory they are in (/usr/X11R6/bin) and they are not even seen as valid programs (yes the permissions are correct). But if I type in the whole path it will at least try to execute (comes up with not being able to find xinit since I can't specify the path to that). The path is in the xsession file in roots directory. So I thought to try the rehashing. This is where things get strange. The error came back that rehash wasn't a valid command either! What the heck? I looked in the man pages and rehash was included under the csh section. I'm running the bash shell - have I screwed up something bigtime? The same results for the X programs was had under the standard sh as well before I switched over. Any other ideas? Thanks! Eric Kylstra erick@accessone.com*
