Yes and no. The PATH, MANPATH and PAGER variables should be set in
either /etc/profile or ~/.profile to affect all shells and should not be
stored in ~/.bashrc (I forgot to say that in my last review comment (if
anyone is now completely confused: The seperation rules work like this:
If it should only affect the shell itself in interactive mode the
variable goes into /etc/bash.bashrc||~/.bashrc (for bash) or
/etc/ksh.kshrc||~/.kshrc (for ksh) and should not be exported into the
environment, if the setting should affect anything outside the shell the
variable goes into /etc/profile or ~/.profile and gets exported into the
environment)).

Bye,
Roland
