First message:
I found something weird and I wonder if I should report a bug in the setup package or not.
I've created /etc/profile.d/custom.sh, where I redefine PATH in order to have /usr/local after /usr for all users.
But the files in /etc/profile.d/ are executed twice (in /etc/bashrc and /etc/profile), and if a user sets PATH to PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin, it won't be taken into account.
Here is what happens when I start my KDE session + open Konsole:
/etc/profile is called by login
/etc/profile.d/custom.sh is called by /etc/profile
~/.bash_profile is called
/etc/profile.d/custom.sh is called (by ~/.bashrc which calls /etc/bashrc)
As a result, the user will have the PATH I've defined in custom.sh, but he can't append something to it.
Second message:
I've added a test at the beginning of /etc/profile.d/custom.sh so that it is executed only once:
if shopt -q login_shell ; then
unset PATH
if [ "$EUID" = "0" ]; then
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin
else
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin
fi
export PATH
fi
That's way I don't need to change anything user side.
But it's a bit ugly and I don't think others distributions have this problem.
