login.conf and .profile/.cshrc

[Erik Wikström]

I just bootstrapped pkgsrc and thought that I was smart when I modified
/etc/login.conf to add /usr/pkg/bin to $PATH only to spend an hour or
two trying to find out why the path wasn't set. Reading a number of man-
pages and trying using different login-classes and ~/.login_conf. After
some time I remembered to check the shell configuration files and now I
wonder, why is the $PATH set first using login and then in .profile and
. cshrc?
