Hey Kees- I must admit that I don't entirely grasp the scope of the issue you're raising with /home living on a networked filesystem (sorry).
* Is your concern a security one, where a malicious user gaining access to the network file server could potentially inject badness in various users ~/bin? * Or is it a performance concern, in that we're adding a search in PATH on a remote filesystem? * ...? In the mean time, I have a simple, one-line patch that adds ~/bin to the end of the initial PATH definition in /etc/environment. Depending on Kees' explanation of his concerns, I can add some additional logic to libpam-modules.postinst to affirm that no user's ~bin is on a networked filesystem at /etc/environment creation time. :-Dustin ** Attachment added: "pam.64064.debdiff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/15442148/pam.64064.debdiff -- would be nice to add ~/bin to the default PATH https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/64064 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gdm in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
