I've updated the database with env-update and sourced them with source /etc/profile. For this changes to become available to all users i have to issue a source /etc/profile for every users AND also for future sessions. The changes become "standard" only if i reboot the machine. How is it possible to perform this changes for every users without rebooting? Thanks in advance, MC -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
