I thought bash just used .profile or .login, i'm not sure of the syntax as i use ksh. btw, where did you get bash for FreeBSD from? and how did you insatall it? Your path may contain sections that don't start with a "/", which it will interpret as being relative to your current directory. Check your .profile .login files. i'll post this to the list as well so hopefully someone will correct me if i'm wrong! good luck @ merry christmas Andrew Perry andrew@shoal.net.au Hans N Gruber wrote: > > Switching to root via su I get the following warning: > Warning: Imported Path Contains Relative Components. > I didn't change anything in my path that I know of and I can't find > anything that looks relative to me.
