(This does not really belong to anaconda ... but I couldn't imagine where to put it ...) The way beta4 sets the path is much better (eg. thanks of pathmunge) than for example in 7.2. However, it's still terribly inconsistent. Every program seems to use different defaults etc. Below just a few examples. I think you'll get the point ... user: xterm -ls, konsole -ls, konsole (under GNOME), rxvt, gnome-terminal (under GNOME) ssh, telnet, rsh/rlogin /usr/kerberos/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/home/c102mr/bin user: xterm, konsole (under KDE), gnome-terminal (under KDE), KDE (eg. run command) /usr/kerberos/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin user: gnome-terminal --login, rxvt -ls, konsole -ls (under GNOME) /usr/kerberos/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/home/c102mr/bin:/home/c102mr/bin user: rsh host 'echo $PATH' /usr/bin:/bin user: ssh host 'echo $PATH' /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin root: rsh -l root host 'echo $PATH' /usr/bin:/bin root: ssh root@host 'echo $PATH' /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin root: rsh/rlogin, telnet /usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin root: xterm (in GNOME, using su) /usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin root: xterm (as root in GNOME) /usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/root/bin root: xterm -ls (in GNOME, using su) /usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/root/bin:/root/bin root: xterm -ls (as root in GNOME) /usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/root/bin:/root/bin root: su (first ssh host, then su) /usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/c102mr/bin
