No, the big problem is why the hell a script inside /etc/rc.d is run by a once-every-login thing like /etc/bashrc through /etc/profile.d/lang.sh. Scripts inside rc.d are intended to be only run by 'init', or perhaps by root with 'service xxxx [start|stop|restart....]'. Perhaps that should not be in lang.sh, 'cause its already done at boot time: werewolf:/etc/rc.d# grep mandrake_consmap * ... rc:[ -f /etc/init.d/mandrake_consmap ] && . /etc/init.d/mandrake_consmap ... I use this as a workaroud: edit /etc/profile.d/lang.sh and comment line 65. Possible solution ? TIA -- J.A.
