However, the information does not seem to be all together correct.
Whenever you start a new bourne shell (sh, bash, ksh, ...), the
following files are read:
/etc/profile
/etc/profile.d/*.sh
${HOME}/.bashrc
Whenever you log in to your system (first time X login, ssh to your
system, telnetting, etc) and you start a bourne compatible shell, the
following file is also read:
${HOME}/.bash_login
This means that if you need to set a _user specific variable_, use
_${HOME}/.bashrc_. If you want to set a variable for all users, use
_/etc/profile.d/local.sh_.
For information on csh compatible shells, I do not know.
