The .profile for this user never did seem to work upon logging into the system. userA is the only user on the system with this problem.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Copy the template .profile from /etc/skel/.profile, if you have one, into place and edit as you have your .profile configured.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't have an /etc/skel directory, but I have done the above with the /etc/profile without success.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Maybe you can mv another user's .profile into place and chmod/chown it to your user and see what happens.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I already tried this suggestion before putting up the post, but had no success.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It may come to this if I can't figure out what the problem is.
Thanks for your suggestions ! !
