SuSE 10.0

I've just added a utility to my SuSE installation which was built from scratch rather than an RPM. Consequently, it has put itself into the /opt directory.

In order to run this app and read its manual, I need to add the relevant directories to PATH and MANPATH respectively, but if I use the 'export' command, it only adds them or the current session.

How can I add these two paths permanently for all users?

TIA

John
