Now I've understood the problem even deeper. It doesn't say "/sbin/:/usr/sbin must be in your path", it says "it may require superuser privileges" which is completely useless and misleading. Having this message user thinks he must be root, not that it's enough to have /sbin:/usr/bin in the PATH. Maybe I'm stupid, but half a year I thought I must be root, to run this (and some other) program(s), then I accidentally found out that I can run it as normal user! Summarizing, you give too general error message, that is correct, but it misleads the user. So I think the message must be more specific. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
