Logged in as a user all is ok ...logged in as root I can't call up pine and it appears anything else under /usr/local/bin I have the same files for root and user for: .cshrc .login .profile .xsession Anything else I can be missing. Can't figure out why I can't callup pine as root but can as a regular user :-( -- Thank You /SD FreeBSD 2.2.7-STABLE #0: Mon Aug 24 02:20:10 EDT 1998 **http://www.freebsd.org/search.html "Alot of answers found here see FAQ's"** ***** FreeBSD IT's HARD TO BELIEVE IT IS FREE ! http://www.FreeBSD.org ***** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
