Hi I have a feeling that this may well be a question with an obvious answer. I am running 3.3 STABLE and Xfree86 3.3.5 (on three machines) I have just tried setting up ssh to forward for forwarding an xterm. However in the xterm I get my PATH set to /home/kit/bin:/bin/:usr/local/bin:/usr/localbin (The doubling of usr/localbin leads me to think that it might be being set in more than one place.) This is not the same as the .profile or .login paths and I can't find where it is set. Where would it be likely to be set and how can I change it? Apart from /etc/profile /etc/login .profile and .login where is the $PATH set? I am uncomfortable with the inclusion of the home/bin directory and would like to be able to disable it for these types of session. I am more uncomfortable with not knowing what the path is going to be. --kit To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
