did you check your .login and .cshrc (or whatever) files?
try running them to see what happens.

hmm... their curious errors, generally in sh if you try to run the command "blah" you get
the error "blah: not found" (assuming there is no command called blah )

Although, come to think of it, ksh gives errors similar to that, "ksh: blah: not found".
Now why the "k" is being replaced with a "-" I don't know. Could be somthing to do with symlinking ??
*shrug*

Anyways, files you should check...
~/.profile
/etc/profile
/etc/suid_profile

You could also check all the other shell *rc files
~/.bashrc
~/.bash_profile
~/.cshrc
~/.login
~/.tcshrc
~/.z*
/etc/csh*
/etc/z*

umm... probably more...

hmm, come to think of it, it might just be crap in /etc/motd that is being spewed out

some very smart *cough*stupid*cough* other root user on the box was "learning" and sort of forgot how to use vi and just dumped a load of crap into .profile

problem sovled
thanx all

Catch_22

Ah dont worry dave we know you will get the hang of vi someday

MiCr0

strangely it wasn't me

btw niall ever installed openssl?

Gerry

openssl is a rather fussy install on solaris, it complains on solaris 7 here in college, I think I'll just have to go back one version of openssl.

MiCr0

yep it seems to have "issues" the rand calls
