Alternatively, some Linux distributions (RedHat-family distros for sure) ship with a built-in mechanism for this. On CentOS, for example, both /etc/profile and /etc/bashrc process shell code from each and every file in /etc/profile.d/*.sh. On such systems, you can inject your own code into the shell configuration by dropping a world-readable file of whatever length you want into /etc/profile.d. This is incredibly useful. If your systems are not built that way by default then you can use a File_line to insert a (complex) one-liner into /etc/profile and /etc/bashrc to enable such a feature, and then proceed as above.
