Since it's not coming from /etc/profile or our .bashrc, I wonder if
it's coming from our desktop environment setup or something.
Let's check locally, then ssh into the same system and see if it's the same.
[tc@zathras]~% echo $PATH
/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/lib64/ccache:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/home/tc/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin
[tc@zathras]~% ssh localhost
Last login: <snipped>
[tc@zathras]~% echo $PATH
/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/lib64/ccache:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/home/tc/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin
Nope, notice that locally /bin is in $PATH, but when I ssh into the
same system, it isn't. Where's it coming from?
% grep PATH /usr/bin/startkde
# in case we have been started with full pathname spec without being in PATH
case $PATH in
*) PATH=$bindir:$PATH; export PATH;
% grep bindir /usr/bin/startkde
bindir=`echo "$0" | sed -n 's,^\(/.*\)/[^/][^/]*$,\1,p'`
if [ -n "$bindir" ]; then
qbindir=`$bindir/kde4-config --qt-binaries`
qdbus=$qbindir/qdbus
$bindir|$bindir:*|*:$bindir|*:$bindir:*) ;;
*) PATH=$bindir:$PATH; export PATH;;
Hmm, that looks like it might be it. So I added an `echo $bindir >
/tmp/bindir` to that script to see if it's not just a red herring.
% cat /tmp/bindir
/bin
Yup, that's it.

Might want to check your desktop environment's start script too, if
it's different.
