non-existent dir inserted in PATH from /etc/profile

[castilma]

Issue description

On my system, /etc/profile contains this line:

export PATH="/etc/profiles/per-user/$USER/bin:$HOME/.nix-profile/bin:/nix/var/nix/profiles/default/bin:/run/current-system/sw/bin"

but /etc/profiles does not exist on my system. I'd guess it's the same with other people?

Steps to reproduce

Technical details

• system: "x86_64-linux"
• host os: Linux 4.14.29, NixOS, 18.03pre131587.b6ddb9913f2 (Impala)
• multi-user?: yes
• sandbox: no

• channels(mcd): ""
• channels(root): "nixos-18.03pre131587.b6ddb9913f2"

Solved! You need to add environment.homeBinInPath = true; to configuration.nix, et voila!

Upfront: I don't use nixos anymore.

That may fix it, but I think it should be fixed in the distribution and not individually by every user.
