hi, yes ssh'ing - is that verb? - into my user account from a local console does show /usr/games, but only because i've added /usr/games to my users's .bash_profile, with that there kmail also recognises 'fortune' as present, it still doesn't show up in the path as echoed in konsole. when i remove the reference in .bash profile, then /usr/games won't show up in any circumstance and kmail fails to find 'fortune' bascule -- "And remember, my friends, future events such as these will affect you in the future....."
