how do i set global prefs for bash
 

I've recently installed slackware 8.1 on a pIII 500 w/ 128 MB and for the most part everything's been going pretty well.

The problem i'm having is everytime i log in i have to do
$export PATH=$PATH:/sbin
The docs i've found on bash indicate that i should be able to edit .bashrc to add /sbin to PATH, but i can't find that file (and yes, i've looked for hidden files). I've also read that it could also be called .profile, but i can't find that either. I've looked in the home directory and the /root, but no go.

Does anyone have any ideas?

If you just want it for one use, go ahead and create your own .bashrc file. If you want it for everyone, edit /etc/profile and add it to the path line, or at the bottom.

:)

Cool

That was it. Thanks!
