Hi,

/etc/profile is the system wide profile for sh shell. So, should you 
need to do this for all sh scripts ( including /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ 
scripts), simply add a PATH line to /etc/profile, eg:

PATH=/foo/bar:/bar/baz:$PATH; export PATH

or

PATH=$PATH:/foo/bar:/bar/baz; export PATH

depending on whether you want your additional directories to be searched 
before or after the default path.

Regards,

Jase.
