Check things like /root/.login

If you didn't mess around with any of the scripts which execute at login you should find out what did. You may have a bigger problem than errant text popping up.
 
the last thing I remember is editing /.cshrc with a "nano" instead of vi, would that make any difference?
 
It entirely depends on what you put in .cshrc... Here, it seems to be world-readable by default. What is its content ?

Also, have you tried to use 'su -f', or maybe 'su root -c sh' ?
 
Hi Fred and SirDice,

totally correct, there was an inserted text with "kensmith" on the /.cshrc . I just deleted it and its okay now, I ust have accidentally paste it while I was doing an edit.

Thanks.
