I think you are greatly mistaken. rc.local is the last init script that is to be run. If you want things to happen on login you use your own personal profile which in most cases would be ~username/.bash_profile. If you want it to take place on system wide logins it belongs in /etc/profile. But I still don't really understand your question. -- Frank Carmickle phone: 412 761-9568 email: frankiec@dryrose.com
