The problem occurs for root if I "su", but not if I "su -" or log in as root on a console. So the problem is definitely just me, and it must be something I set but I can't think what. I'll be trying replacing .bashrc and .bash_profile later today to see if I can identify the setting that causes the problem. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs
