I looked at /etc/passwd and it has /bin/bash
myid:unused_by_nt/2000/xp:11222:12445:My Name,U-WME\myid,S-1-5-21-814975267-2473333330-3333333388-1232:/home/myid:/bin/bash
The user profile is very simple
alias less='less -r' # raw control characters
alias whence='type -a' # where, of a sort
alias grep='grep --color' # show differences in colour
But, the user profile was not changed and was working on all users before two days ago. Now all do not work, so it I think it is the server setting. The only think I did was restart the server. It was a few weeks since the last start, but not sure why that would be the issue.
The /etc/profile was part of install and I have not touched it. I looked it over and it looks ok.
Thanks for the suggestions, but did not help.

To me, this suggests that you have a bashism in your /etc/profile or
~/.profile and that your login shell is not bash. Check your user's
entry for /etc/passwd and change it to bash if you want bash.
