There is a whole slew of things in /etc/profile that turn on
annoying environment variables which enable things like that.
Grep for the one responsible, do an rpm -q -f /etc/profile/whatever
to see which package inflicted it on you, then yum -C erase
that package (of course, checking to see there aren't
other more critical things provided by the package :-).
