Are you sure that it isn't being set in /etc/profile? It may be the compiled in value. Run strings on your binary and see what is there. On my Debian system: $ grep /usr/bin /etc/profile PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin" PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games" $ strings /bin/bash | grep /usr/bin /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin Bob
