Very interesting. (I overlooked this.) So this /etc/login.defs defines PATH provided by login. Then /etc/profile is persed by shell and export new path, if it is defined. Deeper question is "What is a PATH before login?" Specifically, What is PATH for /etc/rcS.d/ scripts? Some scripts (modutils) defines PATH inside. Are these hardcoded in init? I know $HOME in these init script are not /root but /. Just curious. :-) -- ~\^o^/~~~ ~\^.^/~~~ ~\^*^/~~~ ~\^_^/~~~ ~\^+^/~~~ ~\^:^/~~~ ~\^v^/~~~ + Osamu Aoki <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, GnuPG-key: 1024D/D5DE453D + + My debian quick-reference, http://www.aokiconsulting.com/quick/ +
