You shouldn't. This shell is not designed to be used but by legacy scripts. I would recommend to switch to /bin/ksh or /usr/xpg4/bin/sh or even /bin/bash.

If you want for all users to have /usr/sbin in their PATH, the simplest way is to uncomment the line that reads

#PATH=/usr/bin

in /etc/default/login, and change it to

PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

So you only said you added anything to make us think you'd tried?

So far you have not given a clear explanation on what you did (Now I understand : Nothing...) nor what you want nor do we know how knowledgeable you are in order to give a suitable response..
So I will be very factual:
1) what you want to add to a users profile can be tested online in order to see :
-a) It works
-b) It resolves something
-c) Worth adding in users environment
2) e.g. PATH variable:
testing:

  export PATH=$PATH:<newpath to add>

So?
