User profile

[peterchu]

I use RH 8 now, I have a problem about the user login :
one of user is via rlogin to access the system ( not by telnet ), as I know all user login need to run the /etc/profile , is it possible to let the user not run the /etc/profile when login , but only run the user profile ? thx

As far as I'm aware, no.

You either run profiles (all of them), or you don't.

By the same token, you can customize the user profile to remove options you don't want.

You can cheat of course. Put something like the following at the top of /etc/profile

[[ $LOGNAME = user ]] || {

# The rest of /etc/profile goes here

}

Note the "}" at the end of /etc/profile.

It's a bit of a nasty hack though and theres probably a better way to achieve what you want.

try an empty /etc/profile ;-)

peace, r.
