OK
Currently, we have the following cases in Mageia:
1) login normaluser
PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
2) /bin/su - normaluser , ssh normaluser
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
3) login root , /bin/su - root , ssh root
PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin
(there is only one $PATH for root because it is re-defined in
/root/.bashrc from rootfiles).
So, sometimes we have /usr/local/[s]bin in $PATH before %{_bindir} (2),
sometimes after (3), sometimes it is not in $PATH (1).
Is there any justification to these differences? (personally I don't see
any justification to differences between 1. and 2. )
I don't find if there is some specification (POSIX, LSB, ...) about what
should be in a standard default $PATH, and in which order.
I would prefer if we can unify a bit this, and keep only 2 $PATH, one
for normal user and another one for root.
So should we have /usr/local/[s]bin in default paths ?
If yes, should it be before or after %{_[s]bindir} ?
My proposal for unified $PATH would be :
A) normaluser
PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin
B) root
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin
Any comments and suggestions welcome !
Regards,
Luc
