But clearly all our paying Solaris 10 customers already have dotfiles to set $PATH, given how useless the default Solaris 10 $PATH is. They get familiarity by continuing to use those - the default PATH with /usr/gnu/bin first only affects those setting up new accounts who don't have existing Solaris .dotfiles, which seems like a very reasonable compromise. Also rememeber the PATH default is set only in text files which are trivially editable by users with experience from previous Solaris releases - it's not baked into the kernel. > Which group do you think contributes more towards > the $$ that pay our salaries? Sounds like an invalid question for PSARC-ext & shell-discuss at opensolaris.org. -- -Alan Coopersmith- alan.coopersmith at oracle.com Oracle Solaris Platform Engineering: X Window System
