Hi Guys, I am using a VM build script from http://stacklet.com/ and its great. Its a one command which will build a XEN VM for me in under 2mins I love it. The problem is, its built so barebone that when I ssh into the server it doesnt even load the bash environment. All commands work and what not but its just annoying to have to create a ".bashrc" file and type "bash" to reload the console everytime I ssh into a server. I will show you an example below: [root@server1 [~]# ssh [email protected] Last login: Thu Dec 30 18:34:25 2010 from 123.123.123.123 -bash-3.2# bash root@server2 [~]# If someone could help by telling me what script/software I need to install via YUM that would be great. Thanks in advance.
Hi Jgedeon, Just tried doing that and still no success. See below: Code: [root@server1 ~]# ssh [email protected] Last login: Fri Dec 31 18:28:57 2010 from server1 -bash-3.2# usermod -s /bin/bash root -bash-3.2# exit logout Connection to sever2.domain.com closed. [root@server1 ~]# ssh [email protected] Last login: Sun Jan 2 13:39:32 2011 from server1 -bash-3.2#
If you do an ls -al /root/ and it does not show .bashrc you should be able to copy the default .bashrc from /etc/skel/.bashrc cp /etc/skel/.bashrc /root/ Is there a .profile in the root directory also?
Hey Jgedeon, You are a star! I copied the .bash_profile over to the VM and then logged in and it works perfectly. Here I was thinking it was a peice of software I needed to installed. Cheers, Mitch
