Operating Systems Solaris Root ENV is different from users', how to change? Post 302120273 by alanlh on Tuesday 5th of June 2007 01:03:00 PM

Question Root ENV is different from users', how to change?

Hello,

I'm working on a Solaris 9 machine. I found the root's environment variables (say, $PATH, $ORACLE_HOME, big problem) were set differently from the users'. All regular users use C shell now and share the same environment file stored in /usr/local/config/cshrc.default.

Should I just use set/setenv command as root to change root's env variables? Does root use any env setting file as the regular users do? If so, how can I find it and modify it?

Thanks.
Alan
