OT: RHEL 5.1 client Error executing formatting or display command.

[Jamie Bohr]

Found the problem ... I only found it because another admin did NOT have the
problem, his profile was different and his main system is SunOS.

In /etc/profile we have some code that would run "return".  If "return" was
commented out the shell issues went away, this modification has worked on
many other Linux systems in the past and more than one person had the issue
so I figured it was caused by something other than a users profile, I did
not think the system profile was causing it ... besides the same code worked
on other Linux systems.

Thank you all for taking the time to read my post.
