/usr/local/bin access from root...and misc ques

Main Question

How can I get /usr/local/bin in my $PATH (I’m logged in as root)? It is
strange that users that root creates has access to this path, but root does
not!

Other Questions:

I looked at ‘date’ command, but was unable to figure out how to set my qnx
clock. Can anyone put an example in their reply? My clock is way off…

Has anyone gotten Pine email program to work? I tried to send mail but it
gave me an error… something like access denied to root. I put my smtp
server in the preferences so I don’t know why it didn’t work. Also, I am
surprised that it does config does not ask for pop server. How is it
supposed to recieve email without this info? Logged on as root by the way.

It would be great if you could cc me your response to rishi@picostar.com
since I don’t have newsgroup access in qnx and I hate booting into windows.

thanks
