The login command doesn't work when trying to switch to a different user. Instead, you end up as the same user. Also, .bash_profile doesn't get run. If you try to 'login' as the same user, then everything seems to work fine. The following log shows both cases, (after a telnet to the rpcweb host): ================================================================= Connected to rpcweb.hou.setpoint.com.
