I have two accounts, 'root' and 'abcdef', abcdef is a member of wheel. When I login on either acount trough a text erminal, both have /usr/local/bin in their path. But, if I login through xdm, the xterm session on 'abcdef' as /usr/local/bin in the path, but 'root' does not. The acounts have the exact same home directory contents, and same shell(tcsh). The /etc/csh.* files do not set any paths. Adding an echo to each startup script(.login .profile .cshrc .shrc) notifies me that both acounts using xterm only run .cshrc. Adding the path to root's .cshrc will make things work, but why are the paths different for users that appear to be identical?
