This comes from a recent security-minded change made to ruby. Your PATH references something in /tmp, and since other userids *could* change things in /tmp, this is warning that you might have a security problem. I think several ruby users have found this recent change is perhaps a bit over-zealous in it's warning. Which is to say, "it is annoying". You could change your setting of PATH to avoid this. Perhaps the pkgtools.rb script could be changed to automatically change the PATH, but in this case it would have no idea *why* you reference some directory under /tmp in your PATH. So it's probably a bad idea for the script to change the value. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Systems Programmer or [EMAIL PROTECTED] Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
