From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14-5.0 i686) Description of problem: The .cshrc included in the rootfiles rpm adds stuff to the front and back of the PATH variable each time a new shell is spawned. This causes PATH to get longer and longer, with redundant elements at the front and back. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Under KDE, Log in as root with tcsh as the login shell. 2. Open a konsole and type "printenv PATH | wc -c" 3. Type "konsole &", and repeat step 2 in the resulting window. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 in each new window, and watch the length of PATH grow. Actual Results: Path grew longer in each spawned shell. Expected Results: PATH should be constant. Additional info: The PATH-modifying statement in root's .cshrc should be removed, and replaced with code that first checks the path for directories before adding them. Or, even better, this should be done some place else, ideally setting PATH for regular users and PATH for root in some central place independent of login shell.
