Hi,

I've created two different profiles in /etc. profile.1 and profile.2
which both contain different aliases etc. Based on the user logging in
I want to be able to run the correct profile.

Is it possible to put in a check in the /etc/profile that is a certain
user logs in to run the profile. Like...

---check for user "fred". If equal to fred
. /etc/profile.1

otherwise

. /etc/profile.2
