Why don't you add that PATH setting to /etc/default/ferm?

That way, a ferm config file wouldn't work if called directly from the
command line. I do not think that this is desireable as, for example,
ferm --interactive wouldn't be available then.

Package: ferm
Version: 2.0.5-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

I'd like to put the external binaries that are called by ferm (for
example by backticks) into a directory which is not inside a normal
search path, such as /usr/local/share/ferm. It would be great to have
a possibility to add directories to the search $PATH from ferm's
configuration.

Greetings
Marc
