Hi there netlanders!
I am trying to create an account that can be used for demonstrations,
but I'm having a problem.
The system is SCO XENIX 386, and I have made the login shell to be
rsh. The default .profile sets the path to include /bin and /usr/bin.
Unfortunetly csh is in /bin and all the user has to do to bypass the
shell restrictions is type
$ csh
I have created a directory called /bin/rsh.commands and changed the
path line in the .profile to
set PATH=/bin/rsh.commands
but when I login to this account the environment PATH variable says
PATH /bin:/usr/bin
The final line of the .profile says export PATH. So what gives? What
am I doing wrong?
