Of course bash and tcsh are in /bin, but /etc/csh.cshrc calls
commands (ex test ) which are in /usr/bin/, doesn't find them because
the directory is unreadable, and crashes. If I (as a normal user) type
'which test' at a bash prompt, I get the "/usr/bin/test", if I type the
same thing at the tcsh prompt I get "command not found".
The only explanation I can give of this is that /bin/bash is suid root,
and /bintcsh is not.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, or explain the reason for such setup if
it
is so.
TIA,
Marco Fioretti
