[For the archives] As it turns out, given that the shell does not itself read any profile configuration files for non-interactive shells, I can just update /etc/login.conf using ~/bin in the path: default:\ :path=~/bin /usr/bin /bin /usr/sbin /sbin /usr/X11R6/bin /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin:\ Before: $ ssh localhost env | grep PATH amb@localhost's password: PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin After: $ ssh localhost env | grep PATH amb@localhost's password: PATH=/home/amb/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin Arguably, this could be done for a class that is assigned to different users for which this should apply so not everyone has this. Also, this does not impact interactive shells because, well, interactive shells read ~/.profile and consequently ENV applies. Andy
