[Freeipa-users] why default shell /bin/sh
hi, just interested. We have noticed that ldap users have this PS1 envvar: PS1='\s-\v\$ ' instead of the usual [\u@\h \W]\$ This is a confusing moment. Changing the shell to /bin/bash solves this, but maybe this is not optimal for other systems or users. -- Groeten, natxo ___ Freeipa-users mailing list Freeipa-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users

Changing the shell to /bin/bash solves this, but maybe this is not optimal for other systems or users. Lowest-common denominator. One can configure all sorts of *nix-like systems to use IPA for authentication so we needed a default shell that is available on all systems and that is the bourne shell. This is configurable in the IPA configuration, and you can override the shell in sssd as well. rob ___ Freeipa-users mailing list Freeipa-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users

All the options are in man sssd.conf(5). ___ Freeipa-users mailing list Freeipa-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users

One can configure all sorts of *nix-like systems to use IPA for authentication so we needed a default shell that is available on all systems and that is the bourne shell. thanks all for your explanations. In the bash man page I found this little gem: --norc Do not read and execute the personal initialization file ~/.bashrc if the shell is interactive. This option is on by default if the shell is invoked as sh. So this is the problem, when using /bin/sh (which in rhel is a symlink to /bin/bash), the profile files do not get executed. We do have other systems than rhel/fedora/centos, but none where users interactively login. So I am just going to go ahead and make my life a little more pleasant with a minder spartan shell :-) -- groet, natxo ___ Freeipa-users mailing list Freeipa-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users

I have a bunch of AIX machines, the users on those demand ksh, mostly. Luckily I have ksh for Linux and bash for AIX to cover everyone, but I'm tempted to give them all csh just to teach them a lesson. ___ Freeipa-users mailing list Freeipa-users@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/freeipa-users
