Hi All,

where does the .profile reside for root account,coz when i login and type echo $PATH i can see the paths but i'm puzzled as to where this path variable coming from coz .dtprofile doesnt have them .

I'm confused..

.profile for root can be found in the root (/) directory. HTH.

usually there is no .profile for root, but all accounts start off with /etc/profile

Note, in some instalations the root home directory is not / it may be /root (or something else).
To get roots .profile look in ~/.profile when logged in as root.
