Additional Information:

Comment 1 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-06-07 15:46:27 EDT

It appends information to the ~/.bashrc for the server-specific user in post,
the account is created in pre. Not a problem. A workaround could be deviced to
get rid of the warning, but it would just get rid of the warning and not solve
any fundamental problems.

Comment 2 Glen Foster 2001-06-07 16:09:19 EDT

I'm trying to determine if I should ignore this message in the automated rpmlint
tests.  Should I just not worry about this message and filter it out, or are you
planning on making a change to this rpm (I couldn't tell from your response)?

Comment 3 Trond Eivind Glomsrxd 2001-06-07 16:13:08 EDT

I'll probably work around it (I'm adding this along with other changes right
now), but it's not a bug.
