Bash seems to not initialize the environment variables with accordance to the man page as wel as the POSIX standard to wich it is compliant.. variables as OSTYPE, VENDOR and HOSTTYPE are some of them. Gr, Tim
1) VENDOR variable is not in "man bash" 2) At my system OSTYPE and HOSTTYPE are properly set, bot in login and non login modes. Tim, Please attach output of "set" in login/nonlogin modes. as well as "ls /var/db/pkg/aya-apps/bash*". Also please specify which other variables are missing. Please take into account that if bash POSIX-complience is not a gentoo issue, but bash issue and should be dealt with by bash developers.
no additional comments received, so I change it to WORKSFORME

ps. i see OSTYPE etc included that's because a friend of mine manually inserted them... they weren't there before.
please try "env - sh --norc --noprofile -c set" and attach the output.

well... OSTYPE and HOSTTYPE seem to be there, and VENDOR is not mentioned in 'man bash', to have it please post a bug to bash developers.
