RE: [SunHELP] problem setting PATH under solaris 8Might also check =
/etc/passwd to be sure that
root's home dir is actually  " / " .=20
All systems I build always have a home of  /rootdir
or something similar to avoid cluttering up  /
If that is the case the .profile being executed would be
located there.
Just a thought.
