setting PATH for root

i am running solaris 8 and i have a similar problem. i can edit the .cshrc files for different users to change their PATH, but i want to add other directories to the path for root. however, i can't find a .profile or .cshrc in the / directory. i looked in the /etc/profile file, and there is no entry for PATH. how do i add a directory to the path for root? what about changing the shell of the root from /sbin/sh to /usr/bin/csh?

Thanks in advance for the help.
