Description Steve Falco 2005-12-20 18:18:34 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
If a user logs in with ksh selected as their shell, then the $EUID variable (around line 17 in /etc/profile) will not be set, and the user will get a syntax error.

Simply adding double-quotes around the variable fixes this.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.set shell to ksh in /etc/passwd
2.log in
3.
  

Actual Results:  Get a syntax error at line 17 in /etc/profile, caused by $EUID being undefined.

Expected Results:  No syntax error.
