    Hi managers,

    Another question: I have a new Solaris 9 build I'd like to roll out,
    but we have an annoying bug.

    The user and root paths are set in /etc/default/login to include some
    extra directories. However, this is not picked up on login; both the
    SUPATH and PATH set in this file are ignored.

    /etc/profile is unchanged from the default that Solaris ships with

    All users, including those with entirely empty home directories, are
    affected. Root's path looks like this:-
    /usr/sbin:/usr/bin
    and a user's like this:
    /usr/bin:

    ..any suggestions as to where this is coming from, or why the change
    in /etc/default/login is ignore?

    Thanks, will summarise

    Ahau K'in
