Adding to Path for root in Suse

stefarg · 04-21-2004, 05:03 PM

How do I add paths to the PATH for the root user. I would like the path to be permanent so I don't want to just use the shell and type PATH=$PATH;/directory/ etc.
I used to use Redhat and I could just alter the .bash_profile file in /root but there is none in SuSe.
Thanks,
Stef

You should be able to use a bash_profile with root even if there isn't an existing one, just create it. You could change /etc/profile, but that changes all of your users settings.
