Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Paulo Andrade 2016-07-27 20:32:43 UTC
Created attachment 1184816 [details]
ksh-20120801-sfdc01675118.patch

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change a user path in /etc/passwd to have ksh as login
   shell and change the user home dir to end in a /
2. Have a "/home/shared" directory
3. Login as the user
4. Try to execute "cd ../shared"

Expected result is to change to the directory

Result is a failure to change the directory due to ksh
incorrectly parsing the relative path.

  Sample results testing my user after changing to have
ksh as login shell and adding a trailing slash to the
home directory:

$ sudo su - pcpa
$ pwd
/home/pcpa/
$ cd ../t
-ksh: cd: /home/pcpa/t: [No such file or directory]

  The attached path corrects the problem, but it may
be a better idea to prevent the slash being added to
the current directory (e.g. shp->pwd).
