I admit that have the sbin directories in my path, but it does actually cause a problem in a few cases, one being consolehelper. e.g. ethereal uses consolehelper to request the root password for more functionality, but only for /usr/bin/ethereal, not /usr/sbin/ethereal: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1437856 Apr 25 11:20 /usr/sbin/ethereal lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Apr 27 05:52 /usr/bin/ethereal -> consolehelper If I just type "ethereal" and execute the copy in /usr/sbin as a normal user, then I never get prompted and I cannot use the features that require root privs, such as capturing packets. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
