I guess it is in the binary since it is set by the administrator
that installs bash but no mention of a config file?
>From man bash:
PATH The search path for commands. It is a colon-sepa
rated list of directories in which the shell looks
for commands (see COMMAND EXECUTION below). The
default path is system-dependent, and is set by the
administrator who installs bash. A common value is
``/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/bin:.''.
Interesting. I guess this answers my question but I had absolutly
no idea. Time to edit 10 sshd_config files I guess, sigh...
