That is as maybe, but /etc/environment is the only shell-agnostic file there is, and where it can be used, it certainly serves a good purpose. --------------------------------------- I did 2 equivalent tests 1) patching init/main.c to add the variable to the environment 2) using a wrapper to /sbin/init but it seems the environment is just discarded before running what is in inittab (I'm not sure, I should read the sources later). sysvinit should have a way to add a variable to the environment. Can it be done in intitab? With : cd /etc && grep "/etc/environment" * -RH 2>/dev/null Among others, I found pam.d/login # This module parses /etc/environment (the standard for setting # environ vars) and also allows you to use an extended config - Do they mean standard in Debian? BTW, - when is NPTL (not) supported in UML? I'm sending for your consideration a small patch for the FAQ (that may need some update. I'll do it as I learn more about this issue).
