First: Don't flame me for asking this sort of question. Just yesterday I rm'd about a years worth of local suse-linux-e archives because my mail app was starting to hiccup. I just tried looking this Q up with Google and had a very hard time with it. I _really_ wish SuSE would index their archives. Anyway... I just set up a 7.3 installation on a laptop and found that $PATH is wrong for all users who have tcsh set as their log in shell. users with tcsh have a short path like the followign: ccslaptop /home/csc> echo $PATH /usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/usr/lib/java/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/gnome/bin:. Whereas bash users have a full $PATH: ccslaptop:~ # echo $PATH /sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/root/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/bin:/usr/lib/java/bin:/usr/games/bin:/usr/games:/opt/gnome/bin:/opt/kde2/bin:/opt/kde/bin:/opt/gnome/bin (not sure why gnome is in there twice) I don't really want to use per-user rc files, and greping through /etc didn't turn up anything that looks like PATH for *csh*. Could someone tell me where to set a global tcsh $PATH ?
