Machine Type: i386-pc-linux-gnu
Bash Version: 2.05
Patch Level: 0
Release Status: release
Description:
I recently set the POSIXLY_CORRECT environment variable (as documented
by GNU df or GNU du) to get 512 byte as default output. I set this
variable in /etc/environment (which is evaluated through PAM modules
during the login).
Today after first re-logging after doing the chance I noticed that the
bash is no longer reading /etc/profile, ~/.bash_profile nor ~/.bashrc.
I don't know if this behaviour is indented but the whole bash manpage
didn't even mentioned this environment variable.
Repeat-By:
(Please note, strace works on Linux only, other systems uses truss or
tusc)
Incorrect behaviour:
~$ POSIXLY_CORRECT=y strace bash --login 2>&1|egrep 'profile|\.bash'
~$ POSIXLY_CORRECT=y strace bash -i 2>&1|egrep 'profile|\.bash'
Correct behaviour:
~$ strace bash --login 2>&1|egrep 'profile|\.bash'
open("/etc/profile", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
read(3, "# /etc/profile: system-wide .pro"..., 770) = 770
open("/home/torsten/.bash_profile", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
read(3, "# ~/.bash_profile: executed by b"..., 696) = 696
stat64("/home/torsten/.bashrc", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=899, ...}) = 0
stat64("/home/torsten/.bashrc", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=899, ...}) = 0
open("/home/torsten/.bashrc", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3
read(3, "# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1)"..., 899) = 899
Fix:
I removed the setting of POSIXLY_CORRECT before launching the bash.
If you need further information, please tell me.
