Managers,

I asked this question before (I think in january), but got no answer.

What happened to the file /real.profile ???

It was shipped in pre-4.0 DEC Unix versions but is no more there on
4.0B

What was the purpose of this file?
Whom did it affect? Only root when logging in, or all users?
I believed it was all users but I am no more sure.

In the same context:
How do I set a general PATH for all users on my system, regardless
which shell they are using?

TIA
