Bash 3.00 No Longer Sets Some Environment Variables

Solaris 10 OS includes Bash 3.00. This shell no longer automatically exports the following variables to the environment:

• HOME

• PATH

• SHELL

• TERM

• HOSTNAME

• HOSTTYPE

• MACHTYPE

• OSTYPE

This new behavior applies even if the shell assigns default values to these variables.

Workaround: Export these variables manually.
