EASY ENVIRONMENT QUESTION

Pat Copland — Tue, 19 Sep 2000 18:46:42 GMT

Where do I go to set up global and user specific environment variables (PATH).
How do I set up a good global path for everyone and "add" to it in specific user
and group environment variable statements.

/etc/PATH for global
~/.profile for user based.

/etc/PATH (and /etc/MANPATH) already have good default paths set in them for everyone. If you need to change this globally then this is the file. For local users their .profile or shell .rc file (eg .kshrc) file or even their .login file is where you add to their PATH variable (set from /etc/PATH at login) by doing; PATH=$PATH:
