I know I can set the environment for normal user in .profile (Bounce shell), but why can't I find the same file for supersuer? Of course, if I create a .profile file in "/", it works. The problem is where are the default settings located in root? for example $PATH ?
Thanks
Sandra

Hi,
You've already got the answer, add the variable PATH in the .profile in /. For superuser profile, you should have a variable PATH creating during install, including the path to binary.
For normal user, you can find default profile in /etc/skel.
