Hello,

Please check this link

Hi thanks, hmm the link says to execute this /usr/local/bin/reskel but that is not found on my server.

Dont know what happened to my startup files. This box is only 3 or 4 days old.

Oops

I didn't test that command. Is it a problem with only one user or all ?.The problem is that you are missing the path. if problem with only one user copy the /etc/skel/* files to his home directory.
You can use the following command to do that
/bin/cp -vf /etc/skel/.* /home/user/

Then logout from ssh and then connect again. Let me know the status

Its the problem with the admin user.

root login is disabled, When we log in as admin we see this. When we login as root we dont see it.

The admin account already has;

-rw------- 1 admin admin 482 Oct 14 18:47 .bash_history
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin admin 24 Oct 8 13:16 .bash_logout
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin admin 191 Oct 8 13:16 .bash_profile
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin admin 124 Oct 8 13:16 .bashrc
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin admin 237 Oct 8 13:16 .emacs
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin admin 120 Oct 8 13:16 .gtkrc
drwxr-xr-x 3 admin admin 4096 Oct 8 13:16 .kde/

Same as /etc/skel/*

[bijo]

Over write the files with the following command
cp -vf /etc/skel/.* /home/admin/

[jackie46]

I dont think its allowing me to overwrite those files.

[~]# cp -vf /etc/skel/.* /home/admin/
cp: omitting directory `/etc/skel/.'
cp: omitting directory `/etc/skel/..'
cp: overwrite `/home/admin/.bash_logout'? y
`/etc/skel/.bash_logout' -> `/home/admin/.bash_logout'
cp: overwrite `/home/admin/.bash_profile'? y
`/etc/skel/.bash_profile' -> `/home/admin/.bash_profile'
cp: overwrite `/home/admin/.bashrc'? y
`/etc/skel/.bashrc' -> `/home/admin/.bashrc'
cp: overwrite `/home/admin/.emacs'? y
`/etc/skel/.emacs' -> `/home/admin/.emacs'
cp: overwrite `/home/admin/.gtkrc'? y
`/etc/skel/.gtkrc' -> `/home/admin/.gtkrc'
cp: omitting directory `/etc/skel/.kde'
cp: overwrite `/home/admin/.zshrc'? y
`/etc/skel/.zshrc' -> `/home/admin/.zshrc'

Still seeing the same thing when loggin in as admin, Weird.

Hello,

I think, you are missing the system path. What path do you get after run this command user as admin

/bin/echo $PATH

[jackie46]

As Admin i get and this is the problem login

[~]# /bin/echo $PATH
/usr/local/jdk/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/admin/bin

As root i get

/usr/local/jdk/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin
