Basically all are loaded when you login
The sequence is (at least on my RH 62 and 72 sys):
/etc/profile
~/.bash_profile
~/.bashrc
/etc/bashrc
Now .bash_profile actually calls .bashrc prior to anything else if it
exists. Also .bashrc calls /etc/bashrc prior to anything else it does if it
exists.
However, back to your PATH questions. What I don't understand is how the
PATH statements gets set prior to login in and the /etc/profile gets called.
If you look in /etc/profile one of the first commands is:
on 62 sys --> PATH="$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin"
on 72 sys --> if root (uid of 0)
PATH="/sbin:$PATH"
PATH="/usr/sbin:$PATH"
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:$PATH"
PATH="$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin"
Now if you put a echo $PATH prior to any commands and login it echos the
following:
on 62 sys --> users - /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
root - /sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
on 72 sys --> users - /usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
root -
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:4/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
which tells me that the path is set somewhere prior to the call to profile.
I've look around and have not found where this default path for users and
root gets set --note that changing them is probably not good idea--, but
these are the things that I have found because I like to know things down at
this level.
