[ale] bash path problems

[laytonjb at charter.net (Jeffrey B. Layton)]

Afternoon,

I hate to bother everyone, but I'm having bash path
problems. I want /usr/bin to be before /usr/local/bin,
but it's always the opposite. I even moved all of .bash*
files to a different directory and I still get /usr/local/bin
before /usr/bin. So it mush be in the system files
(/etc/bashrc, /etc/profile). Does anyone have any
suggestions on how to do this? It should be easy, but
I'm missing it.

TIA!

Jeff
