    Are you serious? There's several users that log onto a machine and we asre trying to determne the file size of the individual profiles.

    Yes, I am serious.
    Do you refer to the $HOME/.profile files or what?

    What you probably mean are home directories, not user profiles.
    It´s a naming convention issue

    Home directories are usually in /home/

    You can check the size of them with the command "du"
    For usage:
    Code:
    man du
    You must always face the curtain with a bow.
