nfs .profile vs local .dtprofile

nfs .profile vs local .dtprofile

Scenario:
I log into a CDE and get in ok. However, with nfs running, my .profile from the nfs server appears to be taking precedence over my .dtprofile on the local machine. How can I make the profiles coincide?

Re: nfs .profile vs local .dtprofile

Deborah,

It sounds like you're setting DTSOURCEPROFILE=true in your .dtprofile.

If this variable is set true, then CDE will execute .profile if your login shell is sh or ksh. Or it will execute .login if your shell is csh.

In either case, the .profile or .login is executed after .dtprofile.

Re: nfs .profile vs local .dtprofile

Just to clarify, if you don't want CDE to source your .profile, then do not set DTSOURCEPROFILE=true in your .dtprofile.
