there should be no problem, but a regular (non-root) user will not be able to do much with it because most of those executables will at some point require root privilege (at least that is my guess) > > Why the default path not include /sbin, On my system (Debian wheezy) I have it on root's PATH but not on regular user's PATH: root@wheejy:~# echo $PATH /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin jmf@wheejy:~$ echo $PATH /home/jmf/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games tipically those commands are not used (not supposed to be used) by regular users. But I guess it won't hurt to add it to the PATH Joao > > Thanks with best regards, > > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
