I need to set some environmental variables (e.g., http_proxy) because I have a wired connection which goes through a proxy.
It used to be that issuing 'su' put me into root, but kept the environmental variables set by /etc/bashrc for user 'olpc'. With 698, 'su' gives me environmental variables *without* my customizations. [The (alt-ctl-F1) text console correctly gives me the customizations set by /etc/profile.] When I issue 'su -l', that gives me the customizations set by /etc/profile. How come a plain 'su' now sets up its own environmental variables, _bypassing_ both /etc/bashrc and /etc/profile, when previously it would pick up the environmental variables of the user it was issued from ? mikus _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
