    Can't open dmg files in 10.2.6

    I'm trying to help a friend diagnose a problem he's having on 10.2.6. For some reason, he can no longer open .dmg files. Here's what he wrote: This happens to him on all .dmg's, so I don't think it's a corrupted file. He's rebooted and all that. Any ideas? thanks!

    I have a weird-ism on my one remaining Jaguar installation: control-C has stopped responding in Terminal windows. This makes it a pain to ping, tail -f and other functions that need the control-C to halt. Anyone encountered this? I cannot recall any config changes that could have triggered...

    Using bash over ssh

    OK, I've long ago set things up so that I login to the bash shell when I launch a Terminal window. However, I'd like to also drop into bash when I ssh to the system. Currently, I enter: bash source .bash_profile after logging in through ssh, but I'd rather automate it. Any clues? thanks, bear
