Description john.l.villalovos 2002-04-26 21:52:51 UTC

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc1)

Description of problem:
The /etc/profile script sources in files from /etc/profile.d/*.sh if they are
"Readable".

The /etc/bashrc script sources in files from /etc/profile.d/*.sh if they are
executable.

This leads to cases where things work in an "interactive login shell" but not in
a "interactive NON-login shell".  That is because if a *.sh file in
/etc/profile.d/ is readable but not executable it will be run in the login shell
but not in the non-login shell.

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


How reproducible:
Always

Both are now sourcing if readable.

Thanks a lot,

Florian La Roche
