Why do I keep getting .:Permission denied?
I'll start off by saying that I know very little about Unix - however, I do know that I have a .profile file in my home directory, and that I should be able to invoke it by typing . profile. However, when I do this for ANY .filename, I get ".: Permission denied". I'm pretty sure that there is something seriously wrong with my account setup, although nobody in the office seems to be able to narrow it down. Also, I don't think that my .profile is getting invoked when I log in - there are aliases defined in there that I cannot invoke - all I ever get is "Command not found". I also get "Command not found" when I try to use unix commands that I know exist, like umount. Does anyone know what is wrong? And yes, the permissions on all of my files including .profile are rwx
