https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D273720 Bug ID: 273720 Summary: tcsh doesn't expand "~" in $PATH upon login under X Product: Base System Version: 13.2-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: vsasjason@gmail.com Noticed subj when tried to run something in my ~/bin (I'm running XFCE star= ted by lightdm). Path is defined in login.conf only (no "set path" in .cshrc): jason@jnb: [?:0] ~ $ sed -nr '/^\t:path/p' /etc/login.conf :path=3D/sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin ~/bi= n:\ :path=3D/sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin:\ That's what I can see after starting xfce4-terminal: jason@jnb: [?:0] ~ $ echo $PATH /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:~/bin jason@jnb: [?:0] ~ $ set | egrep '^path' path (/sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin ~/bin) Setting $PATH env var manually doesn't expand ~: jason@jnb: [?:0] ~ $ setenv PATH /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:~/bin jason@jnb: [?:0] ~ $ echo $PATH /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:~/bin Setting "path" tcsh var manually expands it: jason@jnb: [?:0] ~ $ set path =3D (/sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/local= /sbin /usr/local/bin ~/bin) jason@jnb: [?:0] ~ $ set | egrep '^path' path (/sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /home/jason/bin) jason@jnb: [?:0] ~ $ echo $PATH /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/home/jason/bin jason@jnb: [?:0] ~ $ If I log in through console, path is expanded correctly right away. Probably adding "set path ..." to every user's .cshrc will do the trick, bu= t I still don't understand why it doesn't work under X and would prefer to avoid duplicating same variable definition (I mean, login.conf should be enough, isn't it?) --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
