<P>
|
|
<P>The most important settings is possible to set in the global shell
|
|
initialization files for login shells: /etc/csh.login for tcsh and
|
|
/etc/profile for bash.
|
|
<P>Exceptions that do not get the right path from these files are rsh
|
|
commands, ssh commands, menu items from X window manager that do not
|
|
explicitly start login shell, commands invoked from inittab, cron
|
|
jobs, daemons jobs like magic filters started from lprd, WWW CGI
|
|
scripts, and so on.
|
|
<P>If the path is set in /etc/csh.cshrc, the path is right even when rsh
|
|
or ssh execute command in remote machine with account using
|
|
tcsh/csh. However, it is not possible to set path if account uses
|
|
bash/sh.
|
|
<P>It is possible to combine path setting to one file, for example to a
|
|
file /etc/environment-common. There we write:

<P>This can be used from /etc/csh.login (for tcsh and csh)

<P>And from /etc/profile (for bash, doesn't work for ordinary sh)

|
|
<P>This strategy works mostly but ssh will complain of the lines in
|
|
/etc/environment (and defined environment variables EQ and
|
|
EXPORT). And still, rsh commands executed with bash won't get this
|
|
path.
