[ale] .profile doesn't work

[Coyote]

Hello everyone!

	My name is William Epperly.  I've recently moved to the Atlanta
area and have joined this list so that I can become more familiar with
those around here who enjoy the challenges and benefits of using Linux.
Hopefully, I will be able to join many of you at the ALE meetings.  I 
just have to find out how to get to the meeting location :)  Anyway, I'd
like to take a shot at answering Mr. Hamm's question.

Have you checked to see who the owner of the .profile file is?
If the file is owned by anyone other than the user in question, it
will not be executed at login.
