Its not wrong. Its just something you did not expect.

You should read
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoce...rtup_files.htm

Short: ( In case you did not changed the default shell or switching to
a different shell during login )
/etc/environment
/etc/profile
~/.profile
~/.env
~/.kshrc

enjoy and good night

I had read
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infoce...opic/com.ibm.a...
I double checked that PATH is defined only in
/etc/environment
but not defined in any of the following files for the root user:
/etc/profile
~/.profile
~/.env
~/.kshrc
but still cannot solve my problem.
I even reboot my aix computer.
However, the current PATH for root is still not the same as the PATH
in /etc/environment.

Which tool is used to login ?


Supply the output from
$ ps
$ cat ~/.profile
$ cat $ENV
$ ls -A ~ | grep "^\." | xargs -n1 -I{} grep -n PATH /dev/null {}
$ find ~/.ssh /etc/ssh/ -type file | xargs -n1 -I{} grep -n PATH /
dev/null {}

In case ssh is used go for rsh and check again

On an AIX system that I use, /etc/profile ends with the lines

for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh; do
if [ -r "$i" ]; then
. $i
fi
done

When a software package is installed, it may install files in the
/etc/profile.d directory. These files do per login setup for the
software, such as adding the directory where executables have been
installed to PATH. In this way, each user does not have to change
~/.profile, or related files, to use the software.

Chances are the directories being added to PATH were added by files in
/etc/profile.d. If the sofware packages that uses those directores are
no longer needed on the system, uninstall those packages. Otherwise,
consider changing one of the files executed after those in /etc/profile.d
so that the value of PATH is what you want it to be.

Following your instruction:
ls -A ~ | grep "^\." | xargs -n1 -I{} grep -n PATH /dev/null {}
..bash_history:19:echo $PATH
..bash_history:29:echo $PATH
..bash_history:34:echo $PATH
..bash_history:43:echo $PATH
..bash_history:53:echo $PATH
..bash_history:60:echo $PATH
..bash_history:61:echo $PATH
..bash_history:62:set |grep PATH
..bash_history:490:echo $PATH
..bash_history:493:grep PATH ~/.env
..bash_history:494:grep PATH ~/.kshrc
..bash_history:495:grep PATH ~/.bashrc
..cits-profile:3:MANPATH=$PATH
..cits-profile:4:export MANPATH
..cits-profile:12:PATH=/usr/vacpp/bin:$PATH:/usr/opt/ifor/bin:/usr/
local/bin
..cits-profile:13:export PATH
..cits-profile:15:unset LIBPATH
..cits-profile:17:unset CLASSPATH
..cits-profile:19:unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
..cits-profile:25:export PATH=/usr/java14/jre/bin:/usr/java14/bin:$PATH

Therefore I modified the PATH in .cits-profile to
..cits-profile:12:PATH=/usr/vacpp/bin:$PATH:/usr/opt/ifor/bin
..cits-profile:25:#export PATH=/usr/java14/jre/bin:/usr/java14/bin:
$PATH

Now the PATH do not have the old java.
Thank you.
