I have setup my profile in the .profile of my home. It works only when I telnet to the Linux Server (my user account is using /bin/bash shell). However when I login using Xwindow emulation terminal, it does not run my .profile at all.<BR /><BR />I know in AIX, I have to open the file .dtprofile and add the line:<BR /><BR />DTSOURCEPROFILE=TRUE<BR /><BR />But I cannot find this file in Linux.<BR /><BR />Please advice.
