not able to execute .profile /.kshrc
Hi,
I m new to Solaris CDE...earlier i was using Windows.
Here is my problem..

i know that whatever the initial settings we need to execute,we can place them in .profile file.

in my home dir (/home/venki),i have following files for that.
.profile
.profile.user
.kshrc
.kshrc.user

and in .profile & .kshrc,its mentioned that dont edit this file..instaed use .user file..
so,i understand that .user is my private and should use that..


which file i should use for my settings ?(.kshrc.user/.profile.user) ?do i need to replace user by my userid?(eg. .profile.venki)
my login shell is KORN.



and the main problem i m facing is i m not able to execute .profile.user/.kshrc.user
( i given execute permission)..
i m getting the err message as below.

$. .profile.user
/usr/dt/bin/.: permission denied.


Can anybody pls help me out.

Thanks in advance,
Venki..

Edit .profile.user and make the first line:
echo .profile.user is running

I think it's probably running but it has an error. By adding and moving echo statements you should be able to figure out where it's failing.

your home dir /home/venki in this dire check
rwx-rwx-rwx for all when you type ls -la .profile it will worked for all user
