rootsh on Solaris 10 is not sourcing root's .profile

Thanks, you are right, it is still sourcing my profile. If I manually set my $HOME variable to / then it sources root's profile.
What I've done is setup an if-then statement that checks the $LOGNAME of the user. If it's root then it runs root's profile. This appears to be working well as a workaround.
Thanks for the insight!

This command is replaced at Revision 1.1 by the dcecp command and may not be provided in future releases of DCE. EXAMPLES
