I made world but didnt recompile X. >Description: I run xdm from /usr/local/etc/rc.d. I log in but my path is set to something strange with /usr/gnu/bin in it. This path is apprently coming from /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/FreeBSD.cf. I tried setting up my path (and other environmental variables that also dont show up) by setting them in my .xsession script. I also tried .login_conf but that didnt work either. >How-To-Repeat: Just login using xdm. >Fix: A workaround would be to install the X sources and modify FreeBSD.cf before compiling I would guess but the environment really shouldn't be stamped all over anyway. Dont have the X sources installed to do a fix. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
