I want to set the environment variables

globally.
for one user I can change therefor .profile like this:
PATH=/usr/local/jdk-1.5.0/bin:/bin:...
...
export PATH HOME TERM
but I want it for all users:
1. could change all .profile-files of all users: no thanx ;-( (and change
/etc/skel/.profile for future new users)
2. change /etc/login.conf ???
3. create /etc/profile, change all existing .profile of users (to source
/etc/profile) and change /etc/skel/.profile
4. change /etc/ksh.kshrc and create .kshrc sourcing /etc/ksh.kshrc for all
users (and in /etc/skel...)
IS THERE A EASY WAY (change only on central file for all users) TO SET THEM?
As a centralized solution, you can use setenv in login.conf.
Or you could programatically change each user's .profile.

If you use the script snippet, DON'T forget the quotes around the first
EOF otherwise $PATH will be interpreted in the current shell, which
would be root's $PATH.
