I logged in as root on another vty While there are a number of possible reasons for this, I'd check the following things: 1. Is their home directory correctly specified in /etc/master.passwd ? 2. Are their permissions set properly so that they can read their own files, including .cshrc? This seems like it might be a problem, since if root copies a file, the copy should be owned by root, but with global read permissions. You might want to see if .cshrc is something like mode 000 (no one can read it), since root will successfully ignore this. >and tried it again, and root could read and write the files with no >problem.
