make sure you have the /usr/share/skel directory defined for the dotfiles with adduser. sysinstall seems to install these by default unless you have it otherwise defined in /etc/pw.conf. It's also definable with adduser by just typing adduser alone and creating a /etc/adduser.conf. With the contributed dotfiles /usr/local/bin should be included in the PATH. Hope that helps, Peter Philipp (PP2441) Daemonic Networks "In theory, theory is the same as practice, but not in practice" - ???
