...I did not plan to be here so soon but ...at the log in prompt I get
the following message:

santolix login: root

you have mail

-bash:fortune:command not found
-bash:id:command not found
root@santolix~#
and from here I can only use the command cd; cat; echo; etc...
the echo $PATH output is this :
/usr/loca/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:
/opt/www.htdig/bin:/usr/lib/java/bin:/usr/lib/java/jre/bin:/opt/kde/bin:/bin:/usr/share/textmf/bin

give that I am logged in as root shouldn't the /sbin directory be in
the path?
and what is this /opt/www.htg/bin doing here?
is this search engine part of slackware?...

puzzled!
