Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] Some Feedback about SOHO

[uel a. <ue...@gm...>]

I guess what I dont understand is
1) who's path gets loaded when I use "su"??
2) how do I add something to that path permenantly?


[uel@vector~]$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/local/games:/opt/=
java/bin:/opt/java/jre/bin:/opt/kde/bin:/opt/xfce4/bin:.:/usr/X11R6/bin:/op=
t/xfce4/bin
[uel@vector~]$ su -
Password:
[root@vector~]# echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/=
local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/java/bin:/opt/java/jre/bin:/opt/kde/bin:/op=
t/xfce4/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/opt/xfce4/bin
[root@vector~]# exit
logout
[uel@vector~]$ su
Password:
[root@vector/home/uel]# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin=
:/opt/xfce4/bin


I thought I better look for the answer myself before I posted this, and
after I found it I thought I would pass it along
just incase anyone else needs it

       The  current  environment is passed to the new shell.  The
       value of $PATH is reset to /bin:/usr/bin for normal users,
       or /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin for the super user.  This
       may be changed with the ENV_PATH  and  ENV_SUPATH  defini=AD
       tions in /etc/login.defs.


Thanks
