[QUOTE=RTM]The .login, .profile files are in each user's home directory - ls -a should show if the files are there or not (they aren't mandatory files - they may need to be created - just keep the permissions at 600 {see chmod man page}).[QUOTE]
I just recently had the time to create a new user account. I think that part of the problem was that I was trying to do this (modify the files) under "root" (?).
I checked to see if there were .login and .profile for my new user account, they are there, but I have not had time to edit them. I will let you know what happens. Thanks again for all the help.
