sendmail in $PATH
Does anyone have any documentation on how to PERMANENTLY add sendmail
to the path in Linux?

I've used export $PATH.. (etc), but every time the machine reboots
it's gone. Also, this won't work for every user.

Thanks in advance,
Chad

#mode diplomacy off

<sigh> This is not specific to Nessus.
You should better learn how to use Unix before trying to launch
Nessus. Unless you absolutely want to shoot you in the foot, of
course.

Adding it to /etc/profile will probably work for every Bourne-like
shell user (sh, ksh, bash, jsh, etc.) but *not* for csh. It also won't
work for luser with screwed up profiles (.profile .bash_profile
.bashrc etc.)
