Hello,

when I log in at the console as root, how is my PATH determined?  If I
have no `.bash_profile' file, I get:

/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin/:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11

... but if I have even an empty `.bash_profile', it is:

/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games

Why does the mere existence of a `.bash_profile' affect the default
value of PATH?

Cheers.
