 how do you make export PATH={...something here...}
 global (that is for all users)? (eq. export
 PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin)  i've read somewhere that
 you have to add it to /etc/profile. but i don't really
 know how to. help! 

 -Myk 
$ ls -al /etc/profile.d/java.sh
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 192 21. Jul 03:20 /etc/profile.d/java.sh

$ cat /etc/profile.d/java.sh
JAVA_VERSION="j2re1.4.2_04"

if [ -d /usr/java/${JAVA_VERSION} ]; then
        export JAVA_HOME="/usr/java/${JAVA_VERSION}"
        export JAVA_PATH="${JAVA_HOME}"
        export PATH="$PATH:${JAVA_HOME}/bin"
fi

So create that file executable and maybe adjust the J2RE version number
if you have a different version installed.
