bash: where is $PATH set ?

[David selby <debian@pusspaws.net>]

Can anyone tell me where $PATH is set ?

In /etc/profile, it is set to ....

PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/usr/local/java/java.current
/bin"

However

web@debian:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games
web@debian:~$

So this does not relate to the shell. I checked ~.bashrc and 
~/.bash_profile, neither have changed $PATH.
As I understand it, but $PATH has been modified somewhere.

OK I could change path in ~/.bashrc, but does anyone know where $PATH is 
set ?
