You can simply add files to /etc/profile.d As may be -- but not directly relevant to setup:
profile.d]$ pwd ; rpm -qf --qf '%{name}\n' `ls` | sort -u
/etc/profile.d
fileutils
initscripts
kdelibs
less
mc
which
... the /etc/sysconfig/ respository directory for SOURCED config files for
system settings is pretty well nailed at this point ...
I don't think we'll add this; profile.d should be enough. |
Description of Problem: -- local customization without editting non-config files Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): -- all How Reproducible: -- N/A -- this is an RFE ------------------------------------------- There are a couple of 'nits' which setup does -- the absence of /sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin in every user's path is a matter of taste, but a common choice to make. Cu8rrently, one has to edit a non-config file, /etc/profile, to properly modify this. This breaks the rpm -V of 'setup' package for admin purposes. Proposed solution: and and source a new config file: /etc/sysconfig/profile in this fashion (in /etc/profile) # Source profile configuration. . /etc/sysconfig/profile ... and then later: # Path manipulation if [ `id -u` = 0 -o "$sbin" = "all" ]; then pathmunge /sbin pathmunge /usr/sbin pathmunge /usr/local/sbin fi =================================================== The '-o "$sbin" = "all"' is new. The /etc/sysconfig/profile would contain: # UNconnemt the next line to add the /sbin series to all users shells # SBIN=all ================================================== and characterise /etc/sysconfig/profile as a 'config' file in the .SPEC file for building the setup RPM . Viola -- the RFE change and RPM compliance
