Category: Installation Group: 2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 7 Submitted By: Jeff Squyres (jsquyres) Assigned to: Thomas Naughton (naughtont) >Summary: Mandrake .basrhc (etc) fix rmss /sbin from $PATH Initial Comment: The fix for MDK's broken root dot files removes /sbin and /usr/sbin from the root $PATH. This is not techincally a problem for OSCAR, but we should probably be a little more clever instead of just blindly commenting out the PATH-overriding statement. Perhaps something like the following: - get the list of dirs that the PATH-overriding statement sets (call it set A) - comment out the PATH-overriding statement - do a test that initiates a new shell and see what the resulting PATH is (call it set B) - figure out what directories are in A that are not in B - add a PATH-appending statement back to the dotfiles that appends (A-B) directories to the PATH Or something along those lines. This is a bit more trouble, but will (hypothetically) work for any distro, any version of dot files, any set of directories that "should" be in the PATH (as determined by the distro authors' original PATH statement in root's dot files). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jason Brechin (brechin) Date: 2003-03-06 16:09 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=274641 Actually I believe I've had problems with OSCAR on MDK because of this... There are numerous calls to things in /sbin (like ifconfig and service and chkconfig) that are called without full paths. I think this should be fixed by putting the paths back in $PATH. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=109368&aid=612692&group_id=9368 ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: VM Ware With VMware you can run multiple operating systems on a single machine.
