Other people have answered how to set the $PATH for all user shells. I'm
curious as to why you're concerned about what $PATH is outside user
shell sessions.
The real default PATH is set by init. However, I wouldn't advise messing
around with that. If this is for an Apache init script, then just edit
it to add the appropriate directory.
