hi again,

well, i've tried a bit playin with the /etc/master.passwd, adduser,
vipw an so on.

now i use the bash shell. but, i am not able to change my enviroment
variables anymore. trying "set EDITOR emacs" did not work. when ich
echo my editor variable, it is empty. though i have changed my shell
back to csh in the /etc/master.password file, when i log on i still
use the bash.

rebooting the system or kill -1 1 didn't do any good. i am getting
confused now a bit. acually changes in the master.passwd file should
take effect in any case, shouldn't they?

pleas help.
