Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
When using a gdm PostLogin script, the /sbin folder is missing in the
$PATH variable. This doesn't make sense as for example e2fsck - which
lies in the /sbin folder - cannot be found and any custom script that
checks an ext2/3/4 filesystem at login time, fails.
The bug exists in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, where custom gdm scripts seem to be
in a big mess anyway (see: #606619).
How to reproduce:
1) set up the gdm script /etc/gdm/PostLogin/Default
2) within this script, echo the contents of the $PATH variable
Actual result is:
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
Expected result:
/sbin should be part of the $PATH string.
