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 I'm late to this party but in cases like this I try to reverse-engineer how it currently works. In this case I'd try finding out where the current path is set and put it in the same place:

grep -r /usr/local/bin /etc
