What system are you running? I am running pretty much standard Debian 11, and I notice these differences: You appear to have root's home at /home/root. Mine is at /root, and I have no /home/root. root@jhegaala:~# cd root@jhegaala:~# pwd /root root@jhegaala:~# ll /home/ total 28 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Oct 10 2021 ./ drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Oct 19 06:27 ../ drwxr-xr-x 50 charles charles 4096 Nov 10 08:00 charles/ drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Oct 10 2021 lost+found/ root@jhegaala:~# which finds ping at /usr/bin/ping. root@jhegaala:~# which ping /usr/bin/ping root@jhegaala:~# although the two are the same: root@jhegaala:~# ls -i /bin/ping /usr/bin/ping 7607442 /bin/ping 7607442 /usr/bin/ping root@jhegaala:~# I get a different response when I try to execute a program that the shell cannot find. root@jhegaala:~# foo -bash: foo: command not found root@jhegaala:~# And, of course, I have no problem running ping without specifying a full path to the executable. root@jhegaala:~# ping -c 3 chaffee PING chaffee.localdomain (192.168.100.30) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from chaffee.localdomain (192.168.100.30): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.33 ms 64 bytes from chaffee.localdomain (192.168.100.30): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=1.99 ms 64 bytes from chaffee.localdomain (192.168.100.30): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=3.15 ms --- chaffee.localdomain ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2003ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 1.334/2.157/3.153/0.752 ms root@jhegaala:~# -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/
