Hi,

I am having trouble understanding whether $HOME/bin should automatically be added to $PATH or if I should add it myself in $HOME/.bashrc. I recall this was working out of the box at some point but now it does not.

I looked in /etc/skel and /etc/profile.d but did not find any indication that it should be set.

Is $HOME/bin added by default to $PATH?

make a new <user> issue: echo $PATH

does /home/<user>/bin appear at the front of the output from "echo $PATH"?

you have your answer

3. check that the directory exists; it won't get added (at least in the past), if it didn't exist at login time. Cheers. l8er manfred
