/etc/profile and PATH

2005-08-31 Thread Miguel Cárdenas
Hello list

I have set some environment vars in /etc/profile such as PATH QTDIR (for Qt) 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH etc. All variables are setup successfully except PATH that 
remains unchanged...

I tried to setup PATH in ~/.profile and now is updated but how can I setup 
this variable system wide? specifically want to add the Qt and MySQL binary 
directories to the PATH...

Thanx

Yeah, man login.conf, but it's heavy reading which I suspect many
people avoid by over-riding whatever it sets in the startup scripts of
the shells they use.  So man sh, man csh, etc.

You're probably looking for /etc/profile, at least.
