linuxgeek: [nslu2-linux] Re: rsync and ssh command

In the /etc directory there is a file called 'profile'. Near the top is an entry for PATH. Add the additional path to that string. A ':' separates the items but not at the end. You will probably have to login again.

PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/opt/bin"
