This is an unsafe solution. You should actually use "su -" to become root as this will clean out the environment, and particularly PATH of any potentially unsafe entries. Using "su -", however, will also clean any environment variables set in .bashrc. The superuser should have his own .bashrc in /root which will get sourced automatically after "su -", this is were PALUDIS_OPTIONS should be set. Also, I think some X11 terminals look for .bash_login instead of .bashrc, so it's probably a good idea to "ln -snf .bashrc .bash_login" in each home directory. _______________________________________________ paludis-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pioto.org/mailman/listinfo/paludis-user
