[NMLUG] bashrc error...

[timothyemerick at yahoo.com (Tim Emerick)]

Sean,

Have you looked to see that the file/directory permissions are correct?

I've run into the same problem when moving/copying/backingup files from one
filesystem to another.  In one instance, all directories were copied back
with user/group=root so the users couldn't access them.

Hope that helps.
