Duplicate HP-UX 11.i Environment

mohnkern — Wed, 14 Nov 2007 08:52:49 GMT

We've got two machines running HP-X 11.i and we want to duplicate the
"default environment" from one machine to another.

In particular we want the default to match on them: 1. Path 2. Default Prompts 3. Environment Variables

We've found /etc/profile and /etc/PATH however there isn't /etc/profile.d (/etc/d.profile points to /skel/profile). Are there any
other files we should be looking for?

Thanks for the quick response. Are there any other files that cover all users (not just the root user?)

Shalom,

For the root user, I'd use .profile from root as a template.

Part of /etc/skel should be a default template for .profile of normal users.

If you have differing user types, go ahead and create skel2 or skel3 etc.

Are the files in /etc/skel processed on a non root user login, or are they just templates to copy from?

The /etc/skel files are the templates used to create .profile, etc. when users are created.

/etc/PATH and /etc/profile are good starting points for ALL users, assuming you are using the POSIX shell (/usr/bin/sh or /sbin/sh) and/or Korn Shell (/usr/bin/ksh or /sbin/ksh).

If you are using the C-shell, then that's a whole different set of files.

Default for all users is ksh. I was pretty sure that I had almost everything, but was hunting around to see if there might be anything else.
