[support] profiles problem - newbie

[Marty Landman]

Bill,

I appreciate the advice, I'm a newbie to profiles but not to Drupal. 
However am taking on a setup which is non-standard and in production. 
One of the things I noticed right away is there is no .htaccess for 
our sites. The developers have put all the mod_rewrite directives on 
the httpd.conf file.

Not the only problem I'm gonna be dealing with here, needless to say.

Marty
