RE: [SLUG] help! Environment variables.

[Stephen Mills <night@xxxxxxxxxx>]

/etc/profile is the most popular and most recognised.

Being Redhat you may also notice /etc/profile.d which is used by RPM's to
export variables to newly installed programs instead of editing
/etc/profile which has less chance of breaking things.

Hope this helps
