After installing bash, you have to run bash-setup for each account that you want to enable. That’s it.

By the way, thanks for the tip about the custom backup config!

I’d like your help on a strange problem: the openvpn *.key file, my-custom-backup.conf and possibly other files are not being included in the zip files. In the case of openvpn, the rest of the directory is correctly saved so I am lost.

Ideas?

by default, the nokia runs ash, not bash, so it never loads .bash_profile. Just run bash as soon as you’ve run xterm or ssh’d into your nokia. (have to install bash first, though).

If you can figure out how to get bash to run by default when you log in to your nokia, let me know! I didn’t look into it, but it might be something simple.

Hi!

I’lm quite interested by your post, and specially by the .bash_profile you mention in it. I’ve tried to create such a file but it looks like it is never recognize by system, no matter how I connect (directly from xterm nor through SSH). I’ve got a simple .bash_profile file:

echo “Hello”
alias su=”sudo gainroot”

“Hello” is never displayed, and my alias does not appear in the aliases list which is empty :-/ Any clue?

TIA for your help,
