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
