Linux sysadmin question (since it's no longer possible to find actual answers via search on the Internet):

How can I configure the PATH to *always* have a specific directory in it when a shell (Bash) is started, regardless of whether the shell is login/non-login, interactive/non-interactive, etc.?

The normal steps (adding a file in /etc/profile.d which adds to the path) work for login/interactive shells, but not for shells opened by sshd with a command to execute (no pty).

@kevin "man bash" is still ok.

Bash has an option for this, and this option has a default -so it's always active:
--rcfile file

Should point you to /etc/bash.bashrc or something (not on a computer right now)
