File Descriptor Number is not vaild

[TMcB]

WHen a certain user logs on, the following error message is displayed.
/etc/profile[132]: Generated or received a file descriptor number that is not valid.

This profile is not unique to this user.
The error message only appears the first time the user logs on. When he tries a second time, there is no error message

Does anyone have any ideas why this would be happening?

Thanks

look at line 132 vi .profile esc :132
or add set -x after the #!/usr/bin/ksh to get debugging output.

There's probably a file being referenced before it its created.

Later,
Bill

Hi Bill

In /etc/profile line 132 is
. /usr/local/etc/profile

This is running another profile script, which already exists.
I'm really puzzled as to why it only occurs the first time each dat when the user logs in

Thanks

Hi Vincenzo

What does Ctrl .profile mean??

Thanks

Using the command '. ' needs a previous shell loaded cause it reloads it. So, you can't use it in your .profile. Besides, Ctrl. means Control.
