Thanks Hendrik again, > take care Dieter, that path is correct for a default setting for users. Users are not meant to have access to indiscriminately run /sbin/* binaries. /Sbin is "system binaries" AFAIK. root needs either a different profile in /root/* or some logic to check for root and add */sbin/* to PATH. I don't have access to a debian (sparc or other) install to check this right now, can another list member confirm the default install either has an /etc/profile with logic to detect root and add */sbin/* or a root profile in /root/* ? hamish -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Dear Hendrik, dear listmembers, Hendrik's pointer was right. The original /etc/profile had had a path setting in it that did not fit those needs - I have seen this on three disks on two machines now; I cannot remember having changed the default PATH intentionally, has there been any change on this recently? The fourth line stated: PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games" after introducing both /sbin and /usr/sbin things were working appropriately.
