* But that would suck when what you're trying to do is get /usr/dt/lib * (CDE's default path) in there - you've got something in * /usr/{local,X11R6}/etc/rc.d/foo.sh adding to the search path something * completely outside that hierarchy? Bleah! What's the big deal? They are adding a whole bunch of stuff to /usr/X11R6 (and last time I checked, /usr/X386) too anyway. Nobody said /usr/{local,X11R6}/etc/rc.d/foo.sh can't add to a search path to something outside that hierarchy. What I'm concerned most is that the requests from XiG people always seem to go directly to a few individuals, who then add it to the list without consent of (or in the case of /var/mail permissions or /etc/ld.so.conf, despite objection of) the other committers. That way they may get some things done their way, but have also pissed off a few people who are not going to spread any good words for them. Satoshi
