This is driving me berserk! I've taken every `path' statement out of root's startup files and I still keep getting .... Warning: Imported path contains relative components. whenever I log in as root. If I change root's shell to bash or sh, it's fine, and if I `su' to root, it's fine. I can't find where this is being picked up but it definitely behaves like `.' is on the path. What's even worse... if I do an... echo $PATH dot isn't there. Any ideas as to what's going on? The system is current as of Jan 26 AM. Thanks -- Randall D.
