Code:
# /etc/profile: login shell setup
#
# That this file is used by any Bourne-shell derivative to setup the
# environment for login shells.
#

# Load environment settings from profile.env, which is created by
# env-update from the files in /etc/env.d
if [ -e /etc/profile.env ] ; then
   . /etc/profile.env
fi

# 077 would be more secure, but 022 is generally quite realistic
umask 077

# Set up PATH depending on whether we're root or a normal user.
# There's no real reason to exclude sbin paths from the normal user,
# but it can make tab-completion easier when they aren't in the
# user's PATH to pollute the executable namespace.
#
# It is intentional in the following line to use || instead of -o.
# This way the evaluation can be short-circuited and calling whoami is
# avoided.
#if [ "$EUID" = "0" ] || [ "$USER" = "root" ] ; then
#   PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:${ROOTPATH}"
#else
#   PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:${PATH}"
#fi
#export PATH
#unset ROOTPATH
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:${ROOTPATH}"

# Extract the value of EDITOR
[ -z "$EDITOR" ] && EDITOR="`. /etc/rc.conf 2>/dev/null; echo $EDITOR`"
[ -z "$EDITOR" ] && EDITOR="/bin/nano"
export EDITOR

if [ -n "${BASH_VERSION}" ] ; then
   # Newer bash ebuilds include /etc/bash/bashrc which will setup PS1
   # including color.  We leave out color here because not all
   # terminals support it.
   if [ -f /etc/bash/bashrc ] ; then
      # Bash login shells run only /etc/profile
      # Bash non-login shells run only /etc/bash/bashrc
      # Since we want to run /etc/bash/bashrc regardless, we source it
      # from here.  It is unfortunate that there is no way to do
      # this *after* the user's .bash_profile runs (without putting
      # it in the user's dot-files), but it shouldn't make any
      # difference.
      . /etc/bash/bashrc
   else
      PS1='\u@\h \w \$ '
   fi
else
   # Setup a bland default prompt.  Since this prompt should be useable
   # on color and non-color terminals, as well as shells that don't
   # understand sequences such as \h, don't put anything special in it.
   PS1="`whoami`@`uname -n | cut -f1 -d.` \$ "
fi

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


That path variable is working (I modified it).

Are you using bash for your shell, or something more exotic?


Yes, I'm using bash.

In your /etc/profile, PATH is exported and HISTCONTROL is not. Thus PATH is visible to child shells and HISTCONTROL is not. (Look in /etc/profile.env, which is a file that is generated by env-update and sourced by /etc/profile, to see where PATH is exported.) So there's your explanation.

You've kind of mucked up your /etc/profile. If I were you, I'd fetch a fresh copy of it from the baselayout package and make all of your future changes in the /etc/env.d/ files. Because of the config protect feature, you'll need to fetch it from the unpacked work directory:
Code:
# EBUILD=`equery which baselayout`
# WORKDIR=`ebuild $EBUILD unpack | awk '/>>> Source/ { print $5 }'`
# cp $WORKDIR/baselayout*/etc/profile /etc
# ebuild $EBUILD clean
# unset EBUILD WORKDIR

Ok, I did not export.

Thanks, now it's working.

Wouldn't it be better to do something like this?

/etc/env.d/99histcontrol:
HISTCONTROL="ignoreboth"
