Thanks for the quick responces to:
Mark Hargrave <hargrme@wisdom.maf.nasa.gov>
Roger D McGraw <roger@ptac.com>
Igor Schein <igor@txc.com>
Michael Hocke <michaelh@slmd.com>
Ronald Loftin <reloftin@syr.edu>
Who pointed me towards:
/etc/default/login
However (and I had found that, and tried it) when I edit that, log
out, and log back in, the change isn't reflected.
I have PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin: but I get:
>echo $PATH
/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
as root, and
/usr/bin
as a different user.
I shouldn't need to reboot should I?
Rob Leonard <r.leonard@metrolink.net>
James Musso <jam@cdicad.com>
Pointed me towards /etc/skel, which I haven't tried yet, but I was
hoping for a single location.
Also it was mentioned that I should edit .cshrc & similar/related
files, but that is what I am hoping to avoid.
