So what? That doesn't tell anything about whether it makes sense to have sbin in $PATH. I'd vote for appending sbin to regular users' $PATH by default. There are many tools in sbin that can be called as user to display at least some status information (or even just the help text). The clueless don't use the shell anyways and therefore don't care. cu Ludwig -- (o_ Ludwig Nussel //\ SUSE Labs V_/_ http://www.suse.de/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
