run old program for users with a .profile - fails on 7.2
« on: August 12, 2007, 10:25:37 PM »
hi experts
on former releases of SME Server i have been able to modify users, after creating them with the  server-manager, using
chsh -s /bin/bash username
and then use a .profile in /home/e-smith/files/users/username
the dot profile was simply
exec p menu
this runs a good old program called filepro.
now with 7.2 this no longer works
any help will be much appreciated.
thanks
old tony

Make sure the program your trying to run is still included in SME 7.2.

I *think* 'nmap' used to be on my 6.01 servers, but doesn't seem to be on SME 7 servers by default (for example)
