I get bitten by this every so often when creating new scripts. While you are correct for general cases, at least in this case the execute bit does not need to be on, since the script is not run directly but instead is sourced from inside another script. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-user] /etc/profile.d/ and non-root users
Hello, I have created a file /etc/profile.d/aliases.sh containing aliases.sh and when I log in as root it is clearly loaded. But when I log in as my normal user, it is not. Any ideas ? -- Pupeno [EMAIL PROTECTED] (http://pupeno.com) pgp8V9wgM5BgU.pgp Description: PGP signature

Looking at the shell initialization files, seems that the only script which checks the contents of /etc/profile.d and sources some files from there is /etc/csh.cshrc (unless I missed some). So, is your root account using csh as its default shell and the normal user instead uses bash? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

You are missing /etc/profile. Only thing this requires is the file is located in /etc/profile.d, ends on .sh and is readable and sourceable by the user.

This is strange: my /etc/profile doesn't have any references to /etc/profile.d (that's why I wrote the previous email). In the past, I used to customize that file a lot, so at some point I probably told etc-update to keep my version. Indeed, looking at /etc/profile on another box, I found the /etc/profile.d stuff.
