I have recently discovered an annoying problem with some of our Linux boxes (running Opensuse 11.3) that is defying our attempts to resolve.
If I (or anyone else using c shell) log in remotely to 2 of our Opensuse 11.3 machines with ssh, then they cannot run a lot of software. It seems that $PATH is not synchronised with $path and $PATH appears to be read only. Furthermore echo $PATH does not return the same thing as printenv $PATH.
A third machine running Opensuse 11.3 is fine. Also if I log in to these machines on the console, they are fine!
We cannot determine the cause (and solution).
Any ideas?
