This is probably a matter of making each new terminal (Eterm, xterm, etc.) a login shell. When it is a login shell, it will read all of your bassh config files such as .bashrc and .profile, but if it isn't a login shell it doesn't read them... usually there is a switch you can add when you launch it... just do a: man xterm (or whatever) and it should tell you how to specify login shell shawn p. duffy stargate industries, llc network operations center On Sat, 11 Nov 2000, Will Yardley wrote: > just wondering; why does ls -G work from the console but not from Eterm, > Xterm or any other client? do I just have to set a different terminal > type? > > another unrelated question; I had the netscape browser (the port of linux > 4.7) installed on my computer. i then installed communicator so that i > could use netscape mail; however when i sent a message, it crashes the > browser. is this a known problem? should i de-install everything and > reinstall? > > -will > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
