Ok, now for another question regarding shadow passwords... How do you
DISable them?
I enabled shadow passwords and now I am unable to get the 'ls --color'
working,
(it displays the directory listing fine, just no color), plus my
.Xclients file
is not being read, it disabled all my aliases in my .bashrc file, and
generally
hasn't been nice to my configuration. This all happens as an ordinary
user. As
root all the aliases work just fine. It's just as a normal user that it
goes
out the window.
Thanks.
