[xcat-user] xcat.csh - MANPATH: Undefined variable

[Aaron Knister]

The profile.d/xcat.*sh scripts seem to come from a postscript in the
xCAT-client rpm. My thought is to actually include these two scripts in the
rpm itself maybe as %config lines in the rpm spec. One advantage to this is
an rpm -qf /etc/profile.d/xcat.*sh would show you which rpm these files came
from (it took me a while to track down). Does this route sound OK? If it
does I'll hapily create the required patches.
