Very interesting. (I overlooked this.)
So this /etc/login.defs defines PATH provided by login. Then
/etc/profile is persed by shell and export new path, if it is defined.
Deeper question is "What is a PATH before login?"
Specifically, What is PATH for /etc/rcS.d/ scripts? Some scripts
(modutils) defines PATH inside. Are these hardcoded in init?
I know $HOME in these init script are not /root but /.
Just curious. :-)
