Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers executing .profile Post 31710 by Kelam_Magnus on Tuesday 12th of November 2002 11:59:40 AM

I just have a few questions.

Was there a point when your .profile was working? Has anything changed since that time? Do any other users have this same problem or is it isolated to this one user? Is this an application or normal user?

Here are a few steps to try.

1) Copy the template .profile from /etc/skel/.profile, if you have one, into place and edit as you have your .profile configured.

2) Maybe you can mv another user's .profile into place and chmod/chown it to your user and see what happens.

3) As a last resort, alas, this may be a drastic step, but I would save any user data and remove and recreate this userID. I have seen cases of gremlins infecting a system where a user's ID is so screwed up that only blowing it away and recreating them would fix the problem.

Let me know what happens.

AA-EXEC(8)							     AppArmor								AA-EXEC(8)

NAME
aa-exec - confine a program with the specified AppArmor profile SYNOPSIS
aa-exec [options] [--] [<command> ...] DESCRIPTION
aa-exec is used to launch a program confined by the specified profile and or namespace. If both a profile and namespace are specified command will be confined by profile in the new policy namespace. If only a namespace is specified, the profile name of the current confinement will be used. If neither a profile or namespace is specified command will be run using standard profile attachment (ie. as if run without the aa-exec command). If the arguments are to be pasted to the <command> being invoked by aa-exec then -- should be used to separate aa-exec arguments from the command. aa-exec -p profile1 -- ls -l OPTIONS aa-exec accepts the following arguments: -p PROFILE, --profile=PROFILE confine <command> with PROFILE. If the PROFILE is not specified use the current profile name (likely unconfined). -n NAMESPACE, --namespace=NAMESPACE use profiles in NAMESPACE. This will result in confinement transitioning to using the new profile namespace. -f FILE, --file=FILE a file or directory containing profiles to load before confining the program. -i, --immediate transition to PROFILE before doing executing <command>. This subjects the running of <command> to the exec transition rules of the current profile. -v, --verbose show commands being performed -d, --debug show commands and error codes -- Signal the end of options and disables further option processing. Any arguments after the -- are treated as arguments of the command. This is useful when passing arguments to the <command> being invoked by aa-exec. BUGS
