Description Roger Whittaker 2005-08-18 20:47:41 UTC
rcntp start
Starting network time protocol daemon (NTPD)/usr/sbin/rcntp: line 148:
startproc: command not found
                                                                     failed

This with an /etc/ntp.conf that works fine in 9.3
Comment 1 Dr. Werner Fink 2005-08-19 08:17:01 UTC
IMHO the `su' versus `su -' problem.
Comment 2 Dr. Werner Fink 2005-08-19 08:19:10 UTC
Btw: should we add within /etc/rc.status a line like

        PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:$PATH

to avoid the IMHO broken su behaviour.
Comment 3 Roger Whittaker 2005-08-19 09:06:11 UTC
You're right: that's what it was - sorry for wasting your time. 
This changed su behaviour is a PITA - why? 
Comment 4 Dr. Werner Fink 2005-08-19 10:52:45 UTC
I've added a check to /etc/rc.status which will be not fooled
by the /usr/lib/mit/sbin in PATH.

For your question you may ask Andreas Schwab <schwab@suse.de>
but AFAIK this is for security reasons.
