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

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.
