You can set the system path in /etc/default/login (note the PATH and SUPATH settings). This works for either GDM or CDE login. Refer to "man login" for more information.
GDM sources /etc/profile and $HOME/.profile. If a user wants to customize the PATH, the $HOME/.profile file is best since it will work regardless of shell. So, if you use OpenSolaris, or Solaris with GDM, this works well. > For anyone concerned, X11 and GDM scripts do interfere with a users PATH. It is common for a display manager to set the PATH for the user on login. I wouldn't say this is "interfering", though. There are interfaces such as /etc/default/login and /etc/profile where people can specify how PATH should be set. Brian
