I had recovered my users directory when I seem to recall that some environment had been preset in the .bash_profile. So, I edited the file and tried to re-source it. When I did an 'env', I saw that the settings were still there; so I unset <whatever> by hand and made sure that there was nothing like this in the /etc/profile or /etc/bashrc files. I open a different shell and env says the settings are still there. On my ssh term (Putty) - I su-ed to that user and the settings were not there. Why is that? Thanks! -X </BODY> </HTML>
