RE: suse 7.1
How can local configuration options such
as
alias blah 'blahblah'
be done, and WHERE?
Also, where are my boot commands
for ipx_configure and ncpmount
supposed to be placed.
I have scoured the documentation and
all the .rc files I can find for where these
commands can be implemented.
Here is what the rc.config file has to say

there are numerous places, most commonly /etc/profile, ~/.profile and
~/.alias (which is called through .profile or .bashrc), plus some others.
You'll also find numerous examples within the /etc/profile file which will
show you how they should be written.

usually /etc/rc.d which is linked to /usr/sbin

I would put them in ~/.bashrc or ~/.cshrc depending upon your shell.

If these are supposed to be run at every bootup, then they should be placed in the boot.local file (probably in /etc/init.d or somewhere like that - I don't really know where on 7.1...). Alternatively, you can write specific bootup scripts for these programs using the skeleton ones available in the startup directories. It's all very well documented in the directories themselves.

Yes, it just depends upon your shell. Hope that helps, Chris -- __ _ -o)/ / (_)__ __ ____ __ Chris Reeves /\\ /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / ICQ# 22219005 _\_v __/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\
