Hi,
Sorry to bring the topic again. Someone pointed out that udevd should be
passing the environment variables it gets on startup to its spawned
child processes, thus letting the use actually decide what should be and
not be in the environment.
I would like to point out that while revieving the udevd code I found
out that udevd actively (by means of a call to clearenv) clears the
environment variables of all forked processes, which of course includes
all programs called via the "RUN" directive in the rules files.
As I mentioned earlier, I solved the problem with a generic rule in a
file named to be included before all others:
ACTION=="*", ENV{PATH}="/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin"
However, I still don't know why my FC6 setup does not include such a
rule but still works fine (yes, the Red Hat patches don't remove the
clearenv).
Regards.
Nacho.
