If you look at this script you can see it runs all the files in /etc/profile.d with the suffix .sh
So you could create a file in this directory call say "userpaths.sh"
and put in it
PATH=$PATH:/add/to/path1:/add/to/path2
export PATH
This would then add "/add/to/path1" and "/add/to/path2" to the PATH environment variable
when people log in .

Attached is a copy of my default /etc/profile file which contains all of the system wide variables/paths for all of my bash users. If someone could show me how I would add something like /usr/local/qt/doc and /usr/local/qt/include and one or two more that would be greatly appreciated. $PATH variables are a brand new thing to me.
