PATHs retraced and revised

SL6 is the first upgrade of DICE we’ve done since we removed the last of the Schools Solaris servers. Given we’re unlikely to be buying more we’ve done some spring cleaning on the PATH, MANPATH and various other environmental variables. If you manipulate your PATH via .benv and setpath/pathfix you may find that it’s different under SL6 and that you are missing some PATHS or that the path ordering has changed slightly. None of the paths removed actually exist in DICE SL6, in fact most don’t exist in SL5. If it turns out we’ve deleted a path you think you need get in touch with support.
