I think I remember reading something about root, .bashrc and potential
security exploits.  Can't remember exactly what, if anything, was at risk
right now though.

When I want to change environment variables for a user I put them in
.bashrc in there home directory.

I wanted to change root's environment variables but I did not find a
.bashrc in /root.  So I created a .bashrc and put in my export commands.
But when I logon to root it doesn't appear that .bashrc is being executed.
Where do I change root's environment variables?
