[Mageia-dev] bashishms

[Remco Rijnders]

Hi all,

Looking at a recent bugreport [1] I see that /etc/profile sources 
everything under /etc/profile.d/*.sh no matter what shell is being used. 
In this case this resulted in a small annoyance for the user as one of the 
scripts under there uses a bashishm that's not supported in all shells we 
ship.

Some questions I have on this is:

Is this really the correct way to do this? If not, how should this be 
fixed? If it is, why do we often also put the .csh script there if they 
are never picked up? (Or are they picked up through a different 
mechanism?).

Thanks,

Remmy
