Hi,

How we can reset the user profile in RHEL5?

No idea, since the question is too vague to answer. Are you using LDAP, NIS, or local files? What do you mean by 'user profile', and what do you want to reset??

And since you're using RHEL, have you contacted Red Hat support? You are paying for it with your RHEL subscription...

OK sir,

My question is that , if a user is asking to reset his profile so . Which files we need to delet from his user /home directory. Becuase their is a difference in newuser creation and profile reset. So could you please help how and what are the step to reset the profile , without hammper any kind of data.

If you're the systems administrator, you first need to ask this user WHY they need their 'profile' reset. What did they do, and why can't they reset it? A users profile is in that users home directory, and owned by that user...they can read/write to it easily.

And again, your question is still vague. Depending on the users shell, they could have to modify any one of a number of files. These could be .profile, .bashrc, or .bash_profile. And those are just for the BASH shell. Cshell, kshell, etc., have different files. And again, you STILL don't say if you're using LDAP, NIS, or local files for your user authentication. And have you contacted Red Hat support, since you're PAYING FOR IT???
