[newbie] /etc/profile and Mandrake Security

[David Talbot]

I'm working on getting a webserver set up and need to modify the path and
some other enviroment variables. I set the path and insure it is exported,
but when I type
echo $PATH

it contains nothing I added. I did notice a few curious comments in the
/etc/profile such as "Handled by Mandrake Security"

Anybody know what it's doing to me?
