Description Michael Andrews 2009-10-17 16:19:22 UTC

Description of problem:
/etc/profile.d/modules.sh executes 'export -f'.  This is a bash specific feature.  I causes error in ksh when opening new ksh login shell, which runs /etc/profile which, in tern, runs all the /etc/profile.d/*.sh scripts.  

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
3.2.7b-2.fc11


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Change shell to ksh
2. Open new login terminal
3. 
  
Actual results:
-ksh: export: -f: unknown option
Usage: export [-p] [name[=value]...]

Expected results:
<silence>

Comment 6 Sjoerd Mullender 2009-11-07 23:21:35 UTC

Unfortunately, the fix makes that only a fixed set of shells is supported.  If you use another sh-like shell, you get an error when you login since the shell will complain if the . (source) command can't find the file you're sourcing.
It would be better if the file /etc/profile.d/modules.sh were to check whether the file it wants to source does in fact exist.
