Description Göran Uddeborg 2008-10-01 09:54:54 UTC

Description of problem:
In recent versions of setup the initializations in /etc/profile.d are only executed if $prompt is set.  This was done as a fix to bug 202468.

But it is the wrong fix.  Non-interactive shells, for example when doing "rsh host command", still need path and environment settings from these files.

Scripts in /etc/profile.d should not write anything in non-interactive shells.  If any of them do, it is that script that should be fixed.  We should not blindly disable all valid scripts because of some broken ones.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
setup-2.5.37-1.7

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install krb5-workstation
2. Run any command from /usr/kerberos/bin via rsh.  (But without full path, obviously.)
  
Actual results:
The command is not found.

Expected results:
The command should be executed
