Hmmm. Checked that. I'd had it commented out. Also checked /etc/profile
and the files in /etc/profile.d just to be sure. No 'fortune' running
anywhere.

I just noticed that there is no sftp binary! Tried to build from the
src.rpm from ftp.suse.de which fails consistently due to some missing
imake file in /var/tmp???

Have you encountered any of this?
