Description Pierre Ossman cendio 2014-04-08 16:07:26 CEST 
Modern distributions have the sbin directories on the end so users will expect them to be present for ThinLinc sessions as well.
Comment 1 Pierre Ossman cendio 2014-04-16 14:20:20 CEST 
This is $PATH on Ubuntu 14.04:

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/opt/thinlinc/bin

And on Fedora 20:

/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/opt/thinlinc/bin:/home/tluser/.local/bin:/home/tluser/bin

I think the Fedora approach of putting /sbin after /bin is safer, so let's go with that.
Comment 2 Pierre Ossman cendio 2014-04-16 14:21:34 CEST 
Fixed in r28879.
Comment 3 Henrik Andersson cendio 2014-04-24 15:40:56 CEST 
Verified using build 4332, PATH contains paths to sbin after bin...
