I'm having a peculiar problem with one of my users. I've searched the
archive & didn't see anything.
For some reason when this user logs on (using Exceed to log onto an Xterm
using ksh) his .profile fails to execute. But if I su into his account from
root it does execute the .profile. In trying to troubleshoot I have done
the following:
* I have checked permissions for his .profile and they are ok.
* There is no .kshrc file (and ENV variable is not declared).
* I have verified in the /etc/passwd file is showing that he is using the
/usr/bin/ksh (we are not running C2 security).
* I've added echo commands at the beginning of the .profile to verify that
the file is being executed. It displays my message only when I su into the
user's account.
* I have (I believe) eliminated that Exceed (the X windows program we use)
has any variables affecting this by trying to log on to his & other accounts
from multiple machines. It always works correctly for everyone but him.
I'm stumped. Any suggestions?
