It is not there by default. I am asking for /usr/ucb to be added. Maybe I was not clear about that. What the rcPath function does is cut the supplied directories out of the PATH and put them back at the end. So it cuts out /sbin etc. and puts them at the back. But it leaves /usr/ucb in place.
Why is it putting /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin and /usr/sbin at the back of the PATH anyway? There wouldn't be any problem if it just leaves the old PATH alone and just add the OpenPKG dirs in front of it.

Hmmm... line 44 of rc.openpkg reads... | rcPath -a -e PATH \ | /bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin ...and this since years! We _never_ had any "/usr/ucb" there. I guess someone changed this file locally at your side. You can check this with: $ /local/openpkg/bin/openpkg rpm -Vf /local/openpkg/etc/rc.d/rc.openpkg It has to be changed locally. Ralf S.
