I have a /etc/profile with some settings like <code>export LS_OPTIONS='--color=auto' alias ll='ls -la $LS_OPTIONS' alias ls='ls $LS_OPTIONS' alias llh='ls -lah $LS_OPTIONS' alias lls='ls -laSrh $LS_OPTIONS' alias llt='ls -lath $LS_OPTIONS' alias md='mkdir' alias cls="clear"</code> to make live easier. But this does not work for the shell user with jailkit installed. Loged in as the shell user I tried to create a .bash_profile, the system does not allow it. Modifying the existing .profile file does not work too. Can you give me a hint. Thanks Rainer
Just tested, and can create .profile as jailed user, and used vim to write suitable contents can as root edit the jailed users /etc/profile file, and modify it with test contents However, the jailed user does not see the changes after next login. I guess it is because jailed users shell does not execute the usual login scripts. Did not find documentation about this after quick search.
Tanks for response, exactly what i have, can edit file, but no effect. not funny. Specially shell users who are just able to configure their website would be happy about some shell extensions. I can live with that but wondered about. Happy "Faschings" wekend Rainer
@muekno Create ~/.bashrc and copy your stuff there then execute "source ~/.bashrc" as shell user or log out and back in to see the change. It should work.
