I've posted this message before, and I know someone out there must have
experiecned the same problem before. Out of 10 total machines installing linux
mandrake for different uses, 2 of them have one bizarre trait in common:
Alterations the the PATH variable in /etc/profile do not take effect. Other
changes to /etc/profile do take effect.
There is an interesting comment in /etc/profile right above a commented out
PATH line that says "Handled By Mandrake Security".
The PATH is indeed being exported. I've tried setting the Mandrake Security
level to low.
What's causing this and how can I make it take my new PATH? Any help with this
one would be a godsend, I've tried every concievable thing I can think of.
