hey, i was building some cross compiler enviroments under Helios 6.1, and i noticed that root's .bashrc (which is stock on my box) has a line at the top of the file: echo $PATH|grep -q /sbin || export PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin but a few lines down : PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin the path is completely overwritten for root, so if someone (at least i think it is pretty normal practice) adds /usr/local/bin or /usr/local/sbin to to /etc/profile those changes don't take effect for root, so perhaps the final path line should include :$PATH: ? Perhaps its already been fixed.. but hey its 3:30am :) regards John I.Buswell Development Engineer MandrakeSoft
