That is what I was thinking as well. However when I edit those to the
following, I do not see it:
PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games:/tmp"
or to 
PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"

The first should add /tmp in the $PATH, the second removes bot games
directories (or rather should not add them)

However after a reboot, I still get
"/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games" as default
PATH.

I have installed a clean Debian on Virtualbox to easier check and see the
behaviour.

How can it be that if /usr/games and /usr/local/games are still in PATH if
they are not in that file. To me that means that is NOT the file that is
actually being read. SO what is?
