Since I upgraded my box from 4.0 to 4.3 I'm experiencing some effects which I can't understand: 1. It doesn't seem to matter what login shell I put into /etc/passwd - when I log in I'm always using the csh! 2. When I log in the shell doesn't seem to recognize my $path nor $PATH environmen variables: even though both environment variables contain an entry ~/bin (and they even show it by means of 'echo $path'), the shell doesn't seem to find the executables in in ~/bin. If, although, I call a shell (doesn't matter which one) from my login shell, the new shell does see the whole $PATH/$path !? 3. Technically my X11 installation works (that is, the hardware and resolution stuff and so on is ok, since the server /usr/X11R6/bin/X server starts up just fine). If, although, I'll try to invoke xinit I get: Authentication failed - cannot start X server. Perhaps you do not have console ownership? I'd be grateful for any help!! -- Torri Mahncke email: torri.mahncke@hamburg.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
