I asked about this a few hours ago, but didn't get a response, so I'm
guessing I wasn't making myself clear enough. (Or I had my from: set
wrong.)
Okay, I just installed 3.0 on my new server and everything's working
fine except the environment, specifically the PATH, for the root user.
$ su -
Password:
# echo $PATH
/root/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
which is the path set for class 'default'. When I change the path in
the 'default' class, and re-su, root's path changes with it.
However, the root entry in the login.conf looks like this:
root:\
:ignorenologin:\
:tc=default:\
:path=/usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/local/bin
/usr/X11R6/bin:
Why does it ignore the 'root' class in the login.conf? The man page for
login.conf says that it should only use the default class if a 'root'
class isn't specified. I even manually put root in the root class via
chsh, but the chsh man page says class is currently not used.
Incidentally, it works just fine on my 2.2.8 machine.
Help!
