Code:

which cc
ls -l /path/to/cc

when logged in as a normal user this comes
/bin/bash: /root/.bashrc: Permission denied
<message>

when i type 'cc' as root only the <message> comes

the root/bashrc doesnt have anything restricting 'cc'

run cc in full path:
`which cc`

^^ do you know why you get that error? --what is trying to source that file?

try (as normal user, from ~):
cat .bashrc

He don't have right permission to excute the .bashrc file.

oh really? perhaps that's why it says permission denied... hmm... and i suppose you'll also tell me he doesn't have permission because it's in root's folder.... thanx.

but my point was to direct attention to the fact that he has a script trying to source that file, and that is the problem...

Yes, when user login, it will excute /etc/profile & /etc/bashrc & ~/.bash_profile & ~/.bashrc in default, if the user's shell is bash.

ok, my sarcasm is apparently lost on you...

one problem is something is apparently trying to 'source' or 'load' root's .bashrc -- this will not work as a normal user, because they will not have access to root's folder!
