Lines: 26 Hi there netlanders! I am trying to create an account that can be used for demonstrations, but I'm having a problem. The system is SCO XENIX 386, and I have made the login shell to be rsh. The default .profile sets the path to include /bin and /usr/bin. Unfortunetly csh is in /bin and all the user has to do to bypass the shell restrictions is type $ csh I have created a directory called /bin/rsh.commands and changed the path line in the .profile to set PATH=/bin/rsh.commands but when I login to this account the environment PATH variable says PATH /bin:/usr/bin The final line of the .profile says export PATH. So what gives? What am I doing wrong? Frank Paterra paterra@cs.odu.edu
