Thanks Christopher. I ran the grep command ( I need to spend more time
with grep! ). I didn't seen any output from /etc or my home directory.
The /opt directory matched in these:
Binary file /opt/e18/lib/libeina.so.1.8.3 matches
Binary file /opt/e18/lib/enlightenment/utils/enlightenment_sys matches
Binary file /opt/e18/lib/libeina.so.1.8.4 matches
Binary file /opt/e18/bin/enlightenment matches
So it looks like it might be compiled in? I also tried creating a new
user account that didn't have a ~/.bashrc file. PATH still included the
/opt/e18/bin at the front. I bet Raster knows for sure, but I'm sure
Raster is wicked busy too :)
Thanks again,
mike
