------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-29-07 20:25 ------- Hmmm, I am not sure if this is one or two bugs. But the path provided by /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc is incorrect: $ grep -i path /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc.rpmnew SystemPath=/usr//bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin::/usr/local/bin UserPath=/usr//bin:/bin:/usr/bin::/usr/local/bin You can see the one the original poster is complaining about is the UserPath, plus the paths pulled from /etc/profile (/usr/X11R6/bin and /usr/games), plus the user path added by the default $HOME/.bashrc ($HOME/bin). Steffen, do you get the kdm path when using XDM_MANAGED in startx.autologin? -- Configure bugmail: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: I expect that the PATH for a non-root user should be the same whether she gets to the desktop via autologin or via a login window. This appears not to be the case. Path upon autologin to desktop: /usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin Path after loging out of desktop and back in: /usr//bin:/bin:/usr/bin::/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/home/craig/bin: Path after logging into a pseudoterminal: /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/home/craig/bin: Note the peculiar /usr//bin: entry in the second situation above.
