Description ted 1999-11-04 03:33:56 EST

Hi !

It seems that under X (Gnome or KDE) the aliases defined for
instance under /etc/profile.d/xxx are not taken into
account. If I am not using X, then they are taken into
account. The strangest thing is that everything defined in
/etc/profile.d is considered except the aliases.

Moreover, some terminal "konsole" or the Gnome terminal do
not update the wmtp logins database when kvt or xterm do it.

Thanks in advance for any help

		Daniel

some terminals run "login shells" by default, and others don't.  This affects
whether or not your .bash_profile (and /etc/profile.d/*) are sourced in addition
to your .bashrc.  This is configurable on a case-by-case basis.  For instance,
with gnome-terminal, you must pass the flag --utmp.  For xterm, you can do it
with +u and turn it off with -u.
