/etc/profile has a comment that PATH is taken care of by Mandrake Security.
Removing the # and adding dirs has no affect on the path. Could someone point
out:

1) Where Mandrake hides the ability to update the path
2) Where this and other differences in Mandrake vs popular Linux how-to books
are documented
3) Is it a standard *nix security configuration to not search the current
directory? Most annoying for an OS/2, Win32, DOS based person.
4) Where should I set other env vars so I don't have to run *.sh scripts to set
/ export env vars before running programs I've installed.

Thanks!
