Probably what was intended are the following lines: setenv PATH "${PATH}:/usr/lib/mit/bin" and setenv PATH "${PATH}:/usr/lib/mit/sbin" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start with an openSUSE 11.3 system that has krb5-devel installed. 2. ssh into this system as a user that has /bin/tcsh as their login shell (or otherwise source /etc/csh.login from a C-shell when CSHRCREAD is unset) 3. Create two new directories for testing: mkdir $HOME/bina $HOME/binb 4. Create an executable script in the first directory: cat > $HOME/bina/test-bad-krb5.sh echo hello Ctrl-D chmod a+x $HOME/bina/test-bad-krb5.sh 5. Add the first directory to PATH using this construction: setenv PATH $HOME/bina:$PATH 6. Verify that the script works: test-bad-krb5.sh 7. Add second directory to PATH: setenv PATH $HOME/binb:$PATH 8. Verify that script no longer runs: test-bad-krb5.sh Actual Results: Step 6 above produces the result: hello Step 8 produces: test-bad-krb5.sh: Command not found. Expected Results: Step 8 should produce the same result as step 6 Most scripts that use the 'setenv PATH ...' construction rather than the 'set path=(...)' one will be rendered ineffective by this bug. -- 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.
