RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Dennixx 2019-08-07 10:15:57 UTC 
Description of problem:
When a user with csh/tcsh as default shell logs in they get the following message:

if: Expression Syntax.

The users own profile isn't parsed

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kde-settings-19-23.9.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
Any RHEL7 system with the kde-settings (released yesterday) installed has this issue

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Update to the latest kde-settings package
2. Have csh/tcsh as the default shell
3. Log in via SSH

Actual results:
if: Expression Syntax.

Expected results:
The user can log in without the error message, and with the user's .cshrc/.tcshrc/.login parsed correctly

Additional info:

The cause seems to be in /etc/profile.d/kde.csh. The last lines contain code which is clearly bourne-shell code

I also opened a support case for this: 02443776
Comment 5 Dennixx 2019-08-07 14:08:13 UTC 
su - (to root) has the exact same issue.

Comment 11 Jan Grulich 2019-08-11 18:20:18 UTC 
Here is updated kde-settings package which should fix this issue: https://jgrulich.fedorapeople.org/kde-settings/
Comment 13 Dennixx 2019-08-13 13:38:39 UTC 
Tested kde-settings-19-23.10.el7_7.noarch, and it solved the issue.
Comment 14 Patrick J. LoPresti 2019-08-27 17:25:44 UTC 
So you folks don't test csh nor tcsh as a login shell?
Comment 15 garloff.annette 2019-08-28 15:55:01 UTC 
I installed the package via the fedora site, and indeed it solves the problem ... for the c-shell.
But now the bash produces an error when invoked...

-bash: /etc/profile.d/kde.sh: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token `setenv'
-bash: /etc/profile.d/kde.sh: line 3: `if ( ! $?KDEDIRS ) setenv KDEDIRS /usr'

the kde.sh in said directory is coded in csh...

really??

I have installed the package from  https://jgrulich.fedorapeople.org/kde-settings/ and it solves thr problem - for the c-shell.

I don't know why do you get such error, but when I download the above mentioned RPM and unpack it, I don't see such line in /etc/profile.d/kde.sh.
Comment 18 garloff.annette 2019-08-29 11:51:11 UTC 
Sorry, seems to have been my mistake (?). I have downgraded the kde-settings to Version 8, than updated again with your package - this time the kde.sh has the same time-stamp, but it looks much different and is ok.
Regards
