Description Lasse Mikkelsen 2002-05-02 13:08:31 UTC

When creating new users on a system installed with the stage1 tarball, I noticed
that there is a bug in the /etc/skel/.bash_profile bash configuration file.

On my system it looks like:

#This file is sourced by bash when you log in interactively.
[ -f ~/.bashrc ] && . ~/.bashrc

eval `dircolors -b /etc/DIR_COLORS`
alias d="ls --color"
alias ls="ls --color=auto"
alias ll="ls --color -l"

But /etc/DIR_COLORS doesn't exist!

The line starting with "eval" should be:

eval `dircolors -b`

Az: we should at least check that the file exists before using it.

I just keep forgetting to talk to you about this :)  It was part of
fileutils, but after the last update, it was left out.  It seems as if it
fixes problems for tcsh (again) users, so i think maybe Ill add it to
baselayout.
