No. .profile is read up by the sh shell and its derivatives.
When the csh shell and its derivatives such as tcsh starts,
its reads up .cshrc.The effect is somewhat the same, but it uses
the syntax is for csh. The syntax for .profile is for sh.

Sure, that works. It is an especially viable way of doing it for
small systems that won't be handling lots of file growth.

They probably treat trailing whitespace on lines differently.
srm.conf
and access.conf in particular. Those are vestigial and all of
their function has been rolled in to httpd.conf so don't put
