Thanks to Mike, Steve and Matt who reminded me that the correct place to set environment variables is in profile scripts (/etc/profile, ~/.profile, etc). I guess I wanted the convenience of setting a system wide default, without hacking /etc/profile. Thanks also to George who suggests that Sun_SSH is less secure than OpenSSH and that I should consider using OpenSSH on Solaris 9 instead. I would welcome anybody else's thoughts on this.

When I connect to A Sun_SSH server I get the following PATH: $ echo $PATH /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin This seems a bit braindead to me. With OpenSSH, I used to get a sensible default PATH. If I didn't like it I could always change the default at compile time. Why doesn't the Sun version read /etc/default/login? Do I have to hack /etc/profile? Am I right - this is braindead? _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagers _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Wed Mar 19 04:46:25 2003
