There's a section on the LPI test about the bash shell. It covers config files, login, logout, variables etc... I checked my own /etc/profile to find something very strange. There's no PATH variable.
It turns out this is a wacky Debian thing. I'm on Ubuntu and it inherits wacky things from Debian. The PATH variable is in /etc/login.defs. Why does Debian do wacky things like this?
Unless other distributions are doing the same thing. All my systems are running Ubuntu.
