Won't happen in this case, this doesn't apply to files in /etc at all; it only applies to the default /root/.shrc and /root/.profile that get installed on fresh systems. > > > And it doesn't affect root by default, you > > > need to change their shell from csh(1) to sh(1). > > > > By your own commit messages admission, this is for the toor account, so it > > does affect a user (and as you were keen to point out, users with the > > default shell). > > Further it effects root any time root types "sh" or "/bin/sh" > and intentially invokes sh interactive for some reason, > something I do more often than I care to admit simply > cause I know what I want to do is much easier in that > shell. It doesn't. For sh(1) to read ~/.shrc (/root/.shrc in this case) you need to have ENV set; the default /root/.profile only sets it when sh(1) is your login shell. Which means, this doesn't change the behaviour when you casually run "sh" or "/bin/sh" as root; sh needs to be set up as login shell for this to take effect. _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
