Don't see anything. &nbsp;I checked both .profile (listed below) and local.profile in the user's directory. &nbsp;Am I looking in the correct place?<br />

Hello,
I have about 20 Solaris 10 servers that are almost identical, however on about 5 of them when I try to su - user1, I get the message "mesg: cannot change mode".  It still appears to work, but I always get the message.  What am I missing?

Thanks in advance,
Dave

Hardware

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.

Unix OS

Kernel and system programming is the process of creating the software necessary for a computer or device to function and operate other programs. Some operating systems (such as Microsoft Windows) are proprietary, but others, such as the various Linux distributions, are open source.
