Hi, I just noticed that in some upgrade of my 4-STABLE system within the last weeks there must have been a small change in the call of the shell you get after a login on any virtual console. root# echo $0 -tcsh root# or with toor: -bash-2.05b# echo $0 -bash -bash-2.05b# exec bash bash-2.05b# I'm quite sure, that there was no leading dash in earlier days for the login shell. What happened there? Not that this is a big issue, but some script might use the value of $0. At least it breaks POLA.
