Yes, it's up to date but I've just discovered a long forgotten line in .cshrc which was also setting EXINIT and overriding the value from login.conf. After removing the .cshrc line I now get the quotes the same way as you do. The issue only became visible on the new 9.0 system I was setting up because the new user account didn't have a copy of the old .cshrc file. I've now removed the qoutes from login.conf since I now see that they should not have been there. I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused by my oversight. This does leave the minor point that the absence of a quoting facility means that it doesn't seem possible to include a comma in the value of an environment variable defined in login.conf, though I doubt if many users will ever need to do this. -- Mike Clarke _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
