hi vda you are totaly right. but Michael has a valid point: /usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin IMHO this path should NOT include /usr/local/sbin. system stuff is should always remain in /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin what is accidentally the default path. if this is your idea we should include /usr/local/sbin AND /usr/local/bin. Micheal can you please verify that your BB_ADDITIONAL_PATH is empty ? Here you can specify an additional search path. re, wh _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://busybox.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/busybox
