I see; works now. I assumed that profile.local would be used instead of profile (reading through the shell-script and finding out what happens can be done, but is not such a trivial matter; I would think explaining in profile, that profile.local should only contain the additional bits is a little thing, but can be quite useful).
Thanks!
Yep, unless you know some sh/bash that '.' = source, I can see how it would be quite confusing... The line in /etc/profile is: test -s /etc/profile.local && . /etc/profile.local where: test -s = test if FILE exists and has a size greater than zero && = if test -s completes successfully, then do . /etc/profile.local . /etc/profile.local = source (read) /etc/profile.local into /etc/profile.
