.bashrc of root get rewritten - WHY?

  • I had a hard time upgrading one system from OMV4 to 5.

    I totally messed up the second machine with the attempt of an upgrade and did a clean install.


    Part of the problems following ryecoaaron procedure in the thread 27909-omv-5-0-finally-out/&pageNo=2 was that when working as root the path is not amended for the system utilities.

    su ...

    /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games


    I can cure that with

    Code
    export PATH="/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"

    each time I want to work as root typing su and giving the password.


    The first lines of root .bashrc read:

    # This file is auto-generated by openmediavault (https://www.openmediavault.org)

    # WARNING: Do not edit this file, your changes will get lost.


    sudo su give me a suitable PATH.

    /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin


    Is this a feature or a bug?

    I expect to have the same behavior than in Debian where I have the correct path for root and can customize roots .bashrc
