Set up NIS and autofs on this new CentOS6 box, but it seems tilde expansion no longer works in bash?
[root@frodo ~]# cd ~john -bash: cd: ~john: No such file or directory [root@frodo ~]# cd /home/john [root@frodo john]# pwd /home/john [root@frodo john]#
It still works in t/csh:
[root@frodo ~]# /bin/csh [root@frodo ~]# cd ~john [root@frodo ~john]# pwd /home/john [root@frodo ~john]#
I couldn't find anything in the bash man page that suggests this feature needs explicit configuration.
