Is there a place to define globally available environment

[garyng]

I mean the PATH= stuff etc.

Such that any systematic changes(say installing a new app in an odd directory) would still be available to all users, or changing default machine locales.

--I set up an /etc/profile.local and created a ~/.bash_login and a ~/.bashrc:

$ cat .bash_login


#!/bin/sh

source /etc/profile.local
source ~/.bashrc

# Moved to bashrc
#PATH=~/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/games
#export PATH

##############

[ p233 (scrn=0) ]
53 ~ $ cat .bashrc


# /etc/bash.bashrc
[ -f /etc/profile ] && . /etc/profile
[ -f /etc/profile.local ] && . /etc/profile.local

alias scrn='screen -aA'

# From linuxgazette-dec.2001
function calc() { perl -wlne'print eval'; }
export -f calc

##alias sf='xinit /usr/bin/sawfish &'

PATH=~/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/games
export PATH

--This is what /etc/profile.local looks like:

# Functions and aliases go in /etc/bashrc
