The entry was right (/opt/openpkg/lib/openpkg/bash), I just missed the
prefix in my previous mail - but it was the _only_ entry! The default
in Solaris 9 is _NO_ /etc/shells file - Solaris has a default list of
shells (listed in 'man shells')! As soon as /etc/shells is created,
the built-in list of default shells is overruled by the contents of
/etc/shells. The OpenPKG bootstrap process created the /etc/shells file
- and suddenly certain login procedures that depend on /etc/shells did
not work any longer (e.g. CDE login), because our default shells like
/bin/ksh, etc were not listed in /etc/shells!
IMHO the bootstrap script should check if /etc/shells exists before
executing
echo "${shell}" >>/etc/shells
and otherwise issue a warning that this step was skipped and has to be
done manually!
Best regards,
Bernd
