how to set PATH in fat client?

[Todd O'Bryan]

I've tried setting the PATH variable in my fat client chroot in both
/etc/environment and /etc/profile, but neither of them seem to do
anything. Because I teach programming, students need to run commands
in the terminal.

Any idea how to do this, or why the fat client doesn't pay attention
to /etc/environment or /etc/profile when users log in?
