setting paths in BASH environment

Postby Slater » Wed Mar 01, 2006 7:54 pm

Well, I wanna work on this server at school which runs under the BASH environment, but the systemadmin of that machine for whatever reason decided that it would be a good idea to not include . in the paths for users. This would be easy to change, but I have yet to find a .login file on the server. Is there some other way to do that?

.profile would also work. If it doesn't exist, make one. Best to do that in your home directory, of course.
