Hi All,
checked google, asked this before on irc, didn't get a
usable answer (can't find any use of /etc/login.defs).
What is the rationale behind the PATH environment variable?
Running woody I get
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games
as a normal user. As root I get
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:
/usr/bin/X11
Thinking security I would expect them the other way around.
So /bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin and /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin
Mind you: I do not want this changed, just explained.
Anybody care to enlighten me ;-) ?
Sincerely,
Jan.
