I know that this is a lame question but I'm looking for the alias file that contails the information below so that I can add some aliases of my own. I have tried to make an alias and .alias file but neither works. What am I over looking? Here is some more information that might be helpful. 1) As a normal user I can use these aliases but I cannot find the alias file to add my own aliases. 2) As root I cannot use these aliases and I can find the files aliases and aliases.db but aliases contains other information. 3) If I enter the connand newaliases, none of the aliases work as root or a user.

Regards,

The above aliases are set in /etc/profile. If you want to add more use /etc/profile.local for global aliases or your .bashrc or .profile in your home directory for non-global. -- Mark Hounschell markh@compro.net
