So - this is not a show stopper but it is really bugging me.

My (non-root user) path is currently set to

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/ant/bin:/usr/local/mysql/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/JMatos1.1:/home/camroe/bin

There are 2 things wrong with this PATH.

1. /usr/local/bin appears twice
2. I can't figure out where /usr/local/JMatos1.1 is being set from!

I have carefully followed the places where I think that PATH is being set. Here is what I understand to be the case.

0. For a non-root user the PATH defaults to be /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
1. /etc/profile
1a. /etc/profile executes all the '.sh' files in /etc/profile.d
1b. /etc/profile executes inputrc
2. /$HOME/.bash_profile
2a. .bash_profile executes .bashrc
2aa. .bashrc executes /etc/bashrc

In following this path I can see nowhere where /usr/local/bin or /usr/local/JMatos1.1 is being set. I assume that the initial /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin settings in the PATH are there by default. (where would this be set ?)

I have grep'ed /etc/profile.d/*.sh for /usr/local/bin and 'JM' and found nothing. I have checked every file in the above list for the setting of /usr/local/bin or JMatos and can't find them.

Is there anywhere else I can look? Again this is not a show stopper but it's bothering me that things are being set and I can't find out where. I've included below

1. /etc/profile
2. .bash_profile
3. .bashrc

If someone could point me in the right direction it would be great!

Thanks
