[ale] env var's

[Yu, Jerry]

/etc/profile meant to be sourced by ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile. 
/etc/bashrc meant to be sourced by ~/.bashrc .

.profile will be run ONCE when a user login.
.bashrc will be sourced EVERY time an instance of bash spawned, including
a sub-shell, as is the case when you type 'bash' at command prompt after
login in.

#thanks Danny, Jerry.

#/etc/profile would have been correct... It lead me to /etc/profile.local on a suse box. (This being 6.4) (which is where they are moving env variables and prefs to)  I appreciate the quick response!

##Hey guys/gals,

##where is the best place to srt an environment variable? (without logging in to a server)
##
##generally when I log in I put them in my personal .profile.... But is there a .profile for the server?  I am running SuSE 2.2.14.
