[OS X TeX] Shell Scripts and Paths (again)

[Gerben Wierda]

The TeX i-packages configuration stage (if you can use that) will add 
TeX *and* /usr/local/bin to your default shell path setting. It edits 
/etc/csh.login, which is the system wide login settings file and adds 
the paths for every user except root (security issue). E.g.:

## TeX modifications start at Wed Nov  6 19:54:52 CET 2002
## Do not remove the previous line
if ("${uid}" != "0") then
   set path = ( ${path} 
/usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current /usr/local/bin)
endif
## Do not remove the next line
## TeX modifications end at Wed Nov  6 19:54:52 CET 2002
