That's very strange. Why does /usr/sbin appear twice? Something's seriously borked there. Also, on my system there is no usr/lib/mit/bin directory, FWIW. And no KDE of course.
User paths, looking back at some older systems - 12.3 - /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games 10.3 - /opt/kde3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin:/usr/lib/qt3/bin 11.3 - /usr/lib/mpi/gcc/openmpi/bin:/home/per/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games 11.0 - /home/per/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/opt/kde3/bin:/usr/lib/mit/bin:/usr/lib/mit/sbin 15.1 - /home/per/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin (without X).
Does a new user on your system get /usr/sbin added to their path? Ordinary users are definitely not supposed to have it.
I'm intrigued by that /mit/ path, but it has obviously gone away, so it is of purely archeological interest. I would expect /usr/sbin/ to be added somewhere by a local user profile, but it's just a hunch. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (22.2°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
