I would check in the files in /etc/profile.d that is where most applications put their default settings. grep has a recursive option, but be careful with it as it will follow symbolic links and if done anyplace with recursive symbolic links (/proc, /sys, and probably others) it will get into a loop will search forever. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
