If you want the bash not to use history then you may set if test "$UID" = 0 -o "$EUID" = 0; then export HISTFILE=/dev/null fi in /etc/profile.local but with this as well as with your ``solution'' you loose the possibilty to check for commands which may become part of the history file by an attacker. The script in the rpm of aaa_base makes sure that file like /root/.bash_history /var/log/lastlog /var/log/faillog /var/log/wtmp /var/log/btmp /run/utmp exists and have the correct owner ship as well as have the correct permissions. -- 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.
