Either configure your terminal to not be a login shell (it probably shouldn't be anyway),
Don't know how to do that, it is just "out of the box" SuSE... standard. or do in profile.local what they do in /etc/profile, and enclose
your export line in "if -z $PROFILE_READ; then ..... fi"
That did it nicely, small typo, the full thing for profile.local reads: if test -z "$PROFILEREAD" ; then export PATH=$PATH:/extra_path fi Thanks again, Matt. linux noobie matthurd@acm.org
