I am running 3.4R on a 133/586. Neither root nor user runs fortune at login, but they did until now. I know this isn't a major problem, but I am trying to learn as much as I can about my system. I haven't edited my .login files. This is what it says in my .login for root: [-x /usr/games/fortune ] && /usr/games/fortune It says in my login as user: [-x /usr/games/fortune ] && /usr/games/fortune -s From the root prompt: # fortune fortune: not found From the user prompt, the command fortune works (ie. it generates a quote). This seems true for all games, eg. hangman will run as user, but won't run as root. I've looked at dm.conf and read the man page for dm. However, I cannot figure out _how_ root would have less permissions (although I can see _why_). Any ideas??
