I've looked but can't find the file required to permanently change the
man path on a sparc running Solaris 2.5. I've installed a bunch of new
software and want to include /usr/local/man in the man path.
Can someone please tell me what file to edit for system wide changes?

The closest you can come is /etc/.login for csh users and /etc/profile
for sh users. Add a command to those files which sets MANPATH:
/etc/.login:
setenv MANPATH /usr/local/man:/usr/man
/etc/profile:
MANPATH=/usr/local/man:/usr/man
export MANPATH

1. How to change PATH permanently?
I have tried playing with "env" and "export," but any change I make to my PATH
goes away at reboot.
How may I make *premanent* changes to the PATH?
And while you're at it, Oh kind and benevolent gurus, does anyone know why my
PATH contains a "/usr/andrew/bin" directory?
