Description

This is caused by a processing of scripts /etc/profile.d/* in non-interactive mod of tcsh. When tcsh is executed, then all scripts in /etc/profile.d/*.csh are executed too. Even in non-interactive mod. But in this mod, tcsh should not execute those scripts. This bad behavior leads to problems, because a less is confused. Then the less accepts as a input a text from echo instead a text from /etc/hosts. The solution is to reflect non-interactive mod in /etc/csh.cshrc. I'll attach a patch, which solve this.

patch to fix non-interactive mod of tcsh
Very simple fix, proposing for RHEL-4.8 FasTrack. Read ya, Phil An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0130.html This fix caused regression - bug #464788. In my opinion fix should be reverted because it is impossible fix both #202468 and #464788. Created attachment 322565 [details]
Patch to fix non-interactive mod of tcsh (and keep path definition processing)
I guess both issues could be solved together by redirecting stdout and stderr to /dev/null for noninteractive shells ... tried following patch and it works for me in both cases.
