Hi Johannes, My own feeling is that Ubuntu doesn't distinguish as strictly between bin and sbin as you would like to see. This is the standard $PATH in the default /etc/environment:
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games" Possibly it can be justified by the fact that the root user is not enabled by default in a fresh Ubuntu install, but you are encouraged to use sudo when needed. After all, running stuff in sbin as a normal user don't typically do much harm, right? Anyway, I think that some experienced developer should better comment on your objection. The easiest ways to fix it for yourself are to either not dropping /sbin from $PATH in ~/.bashrc or prevent ~/.profile from sourcing ~/.bashrc. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1435492 Title: Xsession.d script assumes that /sbin is in $PATH To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/upstart/+bug/1435492/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
