Hi, Why does the PATH variable in the dot.bashrc shipped by the base-files not include 'sbin' paths? It seems like any interactive user should be able to call e.g. 'ifconfig' informationally---they should, and would still be, blocked from calling 'ifconfig eth0 up'
After looking at the PATH for a generic user on my local Ubuntu system, I just added a patch to my meta layer to add the following line to the dot.bashrc: export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin It seems to work well---users created with the extrauser class pull this default from the skel. As this is security related though, I wanted to ask the question to make sure I'm not doing something silly, dangerous or otherwise idiotic.
