Well, like I said, I hadn't really found a way to do this globally with
no exceptions, although I hadn't tried very hard. I'm curious, why is
cron a problem? Why can't you just put the _UNIV_DEFAULT setting in the
crontab file itself? Does it have to work for everybody without them
knowing to do anything special? Is that the issue?

Yeah, that looks like it should work. Both cron and rsh appear to
properly call pam_env. It's interesting that it didn't. I'll try to
set it up on our test server tomorrow just to verify your results.

Yeah, I don't think that would do it. In a quick glance at the source
it would appear that you would have to patch one of the files. It looks
like the script which builds libast decides if /bin/echo exist, and
doesn't support escaped backslashes by default, to default to ucb.
Here is a small snippet from ksh-20060214/src/lib/libast/features/lib:
tst cross{
u=att
case `/bin/cat -s /dev/null/foo 2>&1` in
'') ;;
*) case `/bin/echo '\\t'` in
'\t') u=ucb ;;
esac
;;
esac
echo "#define _UNIV_DEFAULT \"$u\" /* default universe name
*/"
}end
A simple patch to this file to force the 'u' variable to att is probably
all that's required.

What's wrong with the symlink in /usr/local/bin? Is it the concern over
scripts messing with the path? If so, the next best thing is probably
the echo wrapper scripts, although that will be a support annoyance.
Later,
Tom
