I think these make perfect sense. You could conceivably have shared versions of a /bin program in /usr/bin, which is why this was set this way in the first place. The second is for stupid compatibility, the final colon is curdir, as you already knew. I don't like it, but I don't want to break it either. From: Wolfram Schneider <wosch@cs.tu-berlin.de> Subject: _PATH_* /usr/include/paths.h /* Default search path. */ #define _PATH_DEFPATH "/usr/bin:/bin" Why is /usr/bin before /bin? /* All standard utilities path. */ #define _PATH_STDPATH \ "/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:" Same. And why the colon? Wolfram
