I have few questions regarding stuff in linux.  

        1.) Is there a change password binary so one can change a password?  
            I haven't seen it around for linux yet.  

        2.) While inside linux, why can't I clear the screen?  The
            standard command /clear/ does not work.  

        3.) How do I go about in creating a device for the modem so I can 
            use /kermit/?  I haven't tried /pcomm/ yet.  

        4.) And one last question for this post:  how do I make linux read
            /bash/ initialization files, if there is any, like .bashrc or 
            .login, for instance.  I really want my /aliases/ to work when I 
            log-in without having to retype them each time I do so.

     Thank you for any help.

..Tony
