Re: [arch-general] Set ip lan address /etc/environment

Hi Maykel,

Put file /etc/profile.d/ip.sh with the content:

ip="$(ifconfig | grep -A 1 'eth0' | tail -1 | cut -d ':' -f 2 | cut -d ' ' -f 1)"

To debug this kind of thing, e.g. to see if it even runs, intersperse tee(1)s to files that can be inspected afterwards. ip="$(ifconfig | tee /tmp/d.ifc | grep -A 1 'eth0' | tail -1 | tee ...

/etc/security/pam_env.conf : ip DEFAULT="" OVERRIDE="$(ifconfig | grep -A 1

I see nothing to suggest PAM supports sh's `$()' syntax, and wouldn't expect it to. -- Cheers, Ralph. https://plus.google.com/+RalphCorderoy
