Hi,

Create a user, and change the permissions of the .profile to read only.

after create user, you can use the follwing command.

chmod 444 /home/name_user/.profile

use chown for change owner of .profile

Remember that since the .profile exists in the users home directory, the user can always replace the .profile with his own!!
A better way to do this would be to set the environment variables in the /etc/profile as READONLY variables, so that the user's .profile cannot overwrite them.
