If you are logging in via csh, edit your .login file in your home directory to include the path in your path statement there. You might also look at your .cshrc as sometimes paths are also set there. If you are logging in via ksh or sh, edit your .profile in your home directory to include the path. Log out and back in or source your .cshrc or whatever to get a new shell then type echo $path, and look to see if your new path is there. Here is an example from my .login set path = (/sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/games /usr/local/bin /usr/X11R6/bin You can also type env to see all your environment variable. >>> "Arifin" <arifin@xfilesfan.com> 4/20/99 6:36:19 AM >>> Hi Alfred, I use FreeBSD 226, when i edit login.conf a line "path" on default section not exist, but in standard section have a line "path". so i add /usr/X11R6/bin on standard section.
