Hi.
i have a problem with the shell missing missing the windows path when
teleting into systems running the cygwin telnet server (run via
xinetd) on Win2003 servers.
if i open up a local cygwin shell on the system i get the following path:
PATH='/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/cygdrive/c/Program
Files/HP/NCU:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS:/cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:/cygdrive/c/apps/perl/bin:/cygdrive/c/apps/mysql/bin:/cygdrive/c/apps/ruby
/bin:/cygdrive/c/apps/utils:/cygdrive/c/apps/php:/cygdrive/c/apps/graphviz2.20/Bin:/cygdrive/c/apps/subversion/bin:/cygdrive/c/apps/ncftp'
but if i telnet into the system, i get:
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/b
in:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin
in a windows shell for the same user i get:
C:\Program
Files\HP\NCU;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;c:\apps\perl\bin;c:\
apps\mysql\bin;c:\apps\ruby\bin;c:\apps\utils;c:\apps\php;c:\apps\graphviz2.20\Bin;c:\apps\subversion\bin;C:\apps\ncftp
the telnet is setup via init and xinetd:
i have not changed /etc/bash.bashrc or /etc/profile. i did try to add
a set +x to see what i get going into /etc/profile for the path but it
was already the one with only the cygwin in the case of telnetting
into the box (even locally from cygwin prompt/bash).
/etc/profile starts with:
# ...
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:$PATH
export PATH
i did have to change /etc/xinetd.d/telnet to point the server to the
correct line (the original file used to point to /usr/sbin/in.telnetd)
$ cat /etc/xinetd.d/telnet
# default: on
# description: The telnet server serves telnet sessions; it uses \
# unencrypted username/password pairs for authentication.
service telnet
{
flags = REUSE
socket_type = stream
wait = no
server = /usr/sbin/telnetd
log_on_failure += USERID
user = SYSTEM
disable = no
}
