Root is configured to receive some messages by default. If this is the cause, don't log in as root unless you have to (this is considered good practive in any case). > > Another unrelated question is how do I recall the last command typed at the > console (on Linux, I typed the "up arrow" key and ^R for other systems). Depends on the shell you're using. In tcsh (which I use, *please* no religious shell wars), an up arrow works just fine by default. See the man page for your shell to see how to enable such features. > > Thanks for your help. > > Elton > ################################################################# > > UNIX - You next. > NT - No thanks.
