how do I change a user's profile?

[Ravinder Singh Gill]

where is the user's profile stored?

What I am trying to do is add /usr/sbin to the profile. Can someone assist?

edit their .profile file in their home directory

You can change the file /etc/profile (it is executed by the shell for every user who logs in).

Sounds like you want to extend the normal users' PATH environment?

If so append it to /etc/PATH.

[Sergejs Svitnevs]

Append "/usr/sbin" to /etc/PATH file

or

Add an extra line to /etc/profile:
"export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:."

thanks guys....i found that the user's profile didnt exist...so I copied another user's profile into their home directory...and made sure that the ownership was correct afterwards.
