Package: util-linux
Version: 2.40.2-11
Severity: minor
Dear Maintainer,
when one sudo to root:
"
sudo -i LC_ALL=C
-bash: mesg: command not found
"
"
root@hermes:~# cat .profile
# ~/.profile: executed by Bourne-compatible login shells.
if [ "$BASH" ]; then
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
fi
tty -s && mesg n || true
"
I don't know the rationale for the "meg" binary removal from util-linux,
maybe it cannot be added back. But a note to edit the root user profile
should be added if required by util-linux.
I have a system with a newer install that has as its /root/.profile:
"
# ~/.profile: executed by Bourne-compatible login shells.
if [ "$BASH" ]; then
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
fi
mesg n 2> /dev/null || true
"
Cheers,
Alban
