I think you are misunderstanding me. I have a number of environment variables that I want to pass onto the user at login. I should be able to do so by modifying a file (like .profile) that is launched when the user logs in. I tried to vi /bin/bash and it was not possible. THerefore, I am trying to find out where this is done. I am sure that others are doing this.
