rather than mess with /etc/profile directly, if you look closely at the bottom of that file, you'll notice a loop that invokes all of the separate scripts of the form /etc/profile.d/*sh. the /etc/profile.d directory is the ideal place to add an extra customization layer on top of /etc/profile, rather than having one ginormous, monolithic /etc/profile. the other advantage to adding extra files there is that you can just add symlinks so that, when you re-install or update over the old system files, your customization files are preserved. all my customization is implemented with /etc/profile.d/rday.sh -> /home/rpjday/sys/rday.sh rday -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
