I checked /etc/passwd and it is in mode 644. For some reason, when I
ran then conversion program, it deleted the .Xclients file out of my
home directory. I have no clue as to why. I also found that the
.bashrc was deleted, but even after replacing it, the script still won't
work. However, if I start X, the 'ls --color' works, plus all of my
other aliases as defined in '.bashrc'. Unfortunately, the same is not
true when I am not using X, again except when I'm running as root.
Any more ideas to try would be greatly appreciated, especially since I
didn't make any other changes at that time except for the shadow
support. Thanks.
