Summary: PATH assignment for telnet and ssh sessions

Dear managers,

thanks to

Ric Anderson <ric@Opus1.COM>

Brad_Morrison@capgroup.com
Crist Clark <crist.clark@globalstar.com>

for many interesting hints I lerned a lot from. Finally the solution 
was very simple. I ha a .profile in my home dir (overlooked a few 
times), that was clobbering my PATH. After deleting this file 
everything was fine.

Thanks a lot!

Regards,

   Andreas
