While not in the FHS, it is custom to append ".d" to directories containing multiple configuration files to parse (as you have even suggested with env.d). That is why I said it would be /more inline/ with the FHS (I never said it was in the FHS currently), since it would then gather the files used by the "profile" script into the directory "profile.d". > The FHS calls out > > /etc/profile as being the "systemwide initialization file for sh shell > > logins," so the profile.d directory would be the natural extension to > that. > > I don't see a mention of an env or evn.d in the FHS at all. > > I see no mention of profile.d in FHS 3.0 either. But there is no mention of an "env" file that is a systemwide environment file either. So where does the initial "env" name fit into the FHS better than the "profile" name? -Ian [1] https://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_3.0/fhs-3.0.html#etcHostspecificSystemConfiguration
