Has anyone ever done anything similar before? What does policy say about the idea of modifying users' PATH statements? I vaguely remember reading an ITP or something for colorwrapper, a program which colorizes the output of ps, date, dmesg, etc. which I think requires changing the user's path. But I don't remember what ended up happening.

How? :-) And will it matter, if it only affects commands like 'kde', 'gnome', 'move', 'ren', and 'delete' which currently just say "bash: command not found"? --Jason -- The church is near but the road is icy; the bar is far away but I will walk carefully. -- Russian Proverb -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
