Hi,
I found two instances where $TERM was used in a shell script without being quoted (it is quoted everywhere else). This causes an unsightly error message when using sux on Mandrake. Just a word about sux: sux is 'su for X', it uses xauth to transfer the X cookies from the original account to the destination account. It 'highjacks' TERM to transfer the cookies without ever revealing them on a command line and this is what causes the problem on Mandrake. Readme: http://fgouget.free.fr/sux/sux-readme.shtml sux: http://fgouget.free.fr/sux/sux Back to these unquoted TERMs, the 'guilty' parties are: /etc/profile.d/color_ls.sh in Mandrake 8.1 (or maybe it is 8.0) /etc/profile.d/alias.sh in Mandrake 8.2 -- Francois Gouget [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://fgouget.free.fr/ "Only wimps use tape backup: _real_ men just upload their important stuff on ftp, and let the rest of the world mirror it ;)" -- Linus Torvalds
