Solved: .profile question
Can I set a variable in the .profile for each user? I want to create a .profile variable called stornum which would be the store number the employee works in. I want to key on that so if they inoput a portnumber to kill from other store I want to flag it and not allow that action.

So how would I do this in a .profile file?

stornum=# (where # would be 1,2,3,4,6,8 those are our store numbers)

I think I remember that in the .profile you can assign env variables, BUT can you assign a variable with a value that is NOT an env variable?

Thanks this forumn rocks. Now off to do my duty and asnwer a few question on here.
