PATH revisited: one PATH to "rule the [Debian] World"

[Tom Browder <tom.browder@gmail.com>]

Every time I set up a new host, I have to jump through the hoops trying to get the same PATH for ordinary users as well as root, regardless of how they log in. Reading the man pages doesn't help my old brain with all the caveats.

Can anyone offer a foolproof, programmatic solution to my conumdrum?

Thanks.
