Hi there! The discussion started on the debian-devel@ mailing list: <http://lists.debian.org/msgid-search/4E4A258D.6090402%40debian.org> Here we are. On sid it has not. But /etc/skel/.bashrc:23 does ;-) However, the lesspipe manpage says: USAGE Just put one of the following two commands in your login script (e.g. ~/.bash_profile): eval "$(lessfile)" or eval "$(lesspipe)" I think the manpage should: 1) document the full snippet above as the one to be put in login script, i.e. with the test as well. 2) be consistent with what Debian ships in /etc/skel/ files, i.e. if the snippet is in .bashrc, the manpage should reflect that and not suggest .bash_profile. I do not understand why we need to specify SHELL, however. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
