On OpenServer the /etc/profile is read by both sh and ksh before the users
.profile. You can make changes to it. Many add /usr/local/bin to the
start of the path so it is searched first. The only problem is uses may
be explicitly setting their own path and that would over-ride your changes
in /etc/profile.
Good Luck,
