hi
how can i set the path variable for all the users using the bash shell to add a directory say /opt/java/bin. i know how to set the path for individual users through .bash_profile file but need help for setting path for all current users.

Set it in /etc/bashrc and export it.

haven't you ever read the source files in /etc ? not even curious to know what they contain?
Rahul, On my RH 7.3 system I am able to do it by making appropriate changes in the /etc/profile file. It 'may' be the same for other distros as well.

the way you set it in .bash_profile set it in /etc/bashrc

have you read the contents of /etc/bashrc? if you read the comments at the top, you'd see that bashrc is only for aliases and functions. see what it says about Environment stuff.
/etc/profile
