-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This brings me to the maddening thing about linux over the last year or two. There used to be two files (as I recall) within which PATH was set: /etc/profile and ~/.bash_profile. Now neither file contains much of anything related to setting path. I have no idea where the bulk of PATH is set now. I have looked through /etc/profile, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bashrc, /etc/bashrc, /etc/rc.local, /etc/rc.sysinit.
I would also like to fix this (checked my 9.2 box and it does have the "::" in my path). Where is path really set? It is NOT /etc/profile (look at it, there is hardly any path info in it at all) nor ~/.bash_profile. praedor On Monday 17 November 2003 03:18 pm, Jack Coates wrote: > On Mon, 2003-11-17 at 11:59, Eric Huff wrote: > > On Mon, 17 Nov 2003 11:31:26 -0800 > > > > Jack Coates <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] jack]$ echo $PATH > > > /usr/local/bin/:/home/jack/bin/:/usr/X11R6/lib/xscreensaver/:/sbi > > > n/:/usr/sbin/:/usr/local/sbin/:/usr//bin:/bin:/usr/bin::/usr/loca > > > l/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/java/j2re1.4.0_01//bin > > > > > > that looks okay... but . is effectively in my path!!
