I had my user profile and my admin profile, and didn't mix the two. It was already set up that way in Debian, and I liked it. Sometimes it was a hassle, but it kept me on the straight and narrow for security purposes. I'd rather move things to /etc/skel and not interfere with how others might want to do things. The global settings are doing that to me now, forcing me to keep aliases I don't want. Thank you for the info. Michael
