Hi -- I get this weird xterm error -- it started happening when I upgraded WindowMaker... when I su and then try to exit back to the original shell, it says:

bash: pwd: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory

In fact, it says this in response to any command ... if I open a new xterm, everything is fine. Any ideas?

thanks...

yeah, when you exit back to the user shell, what directory are you in? in the future you may want to do "su - user" instead of just "su" as that will update the paths for the current user etc. -- Aaron Seelye Lottery (n.) - A tax on people who are bad at math - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
