I want to have normal path access under my standard account, is there an easy “system wide” way of doing this?
I can see all kind of “profile” stuff in /etc, but don’t understand it. All I want is to have access to programmes in /bin, /sbin, /usr/sbin etc’.
PS. No “religious” replies or lectures please, a simple answer to the question is all I am looking for :sarcastic:.
Hi
Add it to your user ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc check what’s there first
using either of;
echo $PATH
or
env
Then add as applicable to the above;
PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/sbin
<rant>
{snipped}
</rant>
