[linux-help] Re: Default Path

[Steven Saner <ssaner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If everyone is using bash, you can put a PATH statement in
/etc/profile and that will be read before any user .profile. Look at
the man page for which ever shell(s) that you are using and I'm sure
you will find what to do. It is also possible to change the default
path, even before the shell starts. I think that might be dependent on
distribution somewhat. On Slackware there is a file /etc/login.defs. This is 
read by the login process and has a minimal path defined.
