Use the following file as a template - thats what its for;

/usr/newconfig/.profile

And edit it and add any environmental variables or commands you want to run at the bottom of it then copy to users home directories. This is the normal procedure for doing what you want.

Hi

Write a seperate script . can be different for each user . Directory /usersetup File=$LOGNAME

Then in /etc/profile at end

if [ -x /usersetup/$LOGNAME ]
then
. /usersetup/$LOGNAME
fi

Everybody runs /etc/profile and then if a
user needs special setup it will happen.

Note. 1 . The script must be executable
2. The . in the beginning of the line
which adds the data at the current process level.

Hi,

Once your script has been written as
a default profile, you could use it
in /etc/skel/profile. Once used it can
be deployed to new users on your system.
As suggested you can use the template
that is provided.
