It took me two weeks, but I finally realized that I could grep the /usr hierarchy. The answer popped up at about the twentieth match. I had put some stuff in a .bash_ file where it didn't belong, and then forgetten about it when I set up squid for tranparent proxying. When I copied my .bash_ files to the new system with no squid, the garbage came with it. Instant headache. Bob Hall
