They SSH into z/OS UNIX and get a UNIX shell prompt? If so, then just
set the PATH for their shell prompt using the appropriate mechanism. For
the normal IBM /bin/sh, that would be ~/.profile . That is, the
".profile" file in the user's home directory.
export PATH=${PATH}:/new/sub/directory
Now, if you have some other requirement, such as setting the PATH
globally for all SSH users and only SSH users, you could try code
in /etc/profile such as:
set . $(ps -o args -p $PPID)
case "$3" in
*sshd*) export PATH=$PATH:/special/ssh/sub/directory;;
esac
