Other people have answered how to set the $PATH for all user shells. I'm curious as to why you're concerned about what $PATH is outside user shell sessions. The real default PATH is set by init. However, I wouldn't advise messing around with that. If this is for an Apache init script, then just edit it to add the appropriate directory. Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
