Johanna Amann commented on BIT-1308:
------------------------------------
Sorry for the long reply times. Not having Bro automatically added to the path
actually was a conscious decision due to several reasons.
First -- if users install the packages for bro-nightly and bro simultaneously,
it is unclear which one would end up in the path (they are designed in a way
that the packages can be installed simultaneously). Furthermore, it often only
is desired to have the bro binaries accessible by the user that actually runs
Bro --- some of the binaries contained in the distribution (like broctl) are
also only runnable as root.
If you think there is a reason to add it, please let me know - I am going to
close this for now :)

> Project: Bro Issue Tracker
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Bro
> Affects Versions: 2.3
> Environment: CentOS 6
> Reporter: Richie B.
>
> In the Bro documentation, the first step after installing the Bro RPM is to
> add /opt/bro/bin to your $PATH. This can easily be done automatically by
> adding a file /etc/profile.d/bro.sh in the Bro RPM that contains:
> pathmunge /opt/bro/bin
