avoid hardwiring $PATH components for users, under either /etc/skel/ or .bash_profile:
(we may do it much, much, better now via Lmod & 007-sh-in-it facility):
[fotis@demo2 ~]$ cat .bash_profile
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin
export PATH
