Hi, I have 2 perhaps simple questions: 1. The only user on my system who has a ~/.profile is root. It had to have been generated during installation. So I am left to wonder, how do I create a ~/.profile for each user as well as subsequent users. 2. Also, when I want execute a shell script, why am I forced to do... bash <shell.script> Is this related to my PATH configurations? Sorry if these seem like banal questions but I am still a newbie. Thanks, bwarsing
