SUMMARY: Problem with the environment variable PATH

Hi all,

I got six answer which pointed out /etc/default/login.
Well, that did not help, because I had looked there
and found that PATH definition was commented out there.

Original e-mail:
========================================================
I have some problem with the environment variable PATH.
I am running Solaris 8 on Ultra 1, 10 and Enterprise 220R.
On the Ultra 1 and 10 I get following PATH variable:

PATH=/usr/bin::/usr/dt/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/bin:/usr/ucb:

On the Ultra Enterprise 220R I get following PATH variable:

PATH=/usr/bin:

This is if I ignore /etc/profile and other config files.
The difference is that the Ultra 1 and 10 have patch
108528-15, while the Ultra Enterprise 220R have patch
108528-14.

The question is where is the PATH variable initialized
before /etc/profile is read and why is this difference
between the patches?
========================================================
