/etc/profile.d/ is where you can configure global environment settings. just add the items you want into a file like <MY_COMPANY>.sh <MY_COMPANY>.csh make sure they are chmod 755 and when your users login they get the specifics. BTW only use root to configure your system use a standard user for general use. Using root is a bad habit. Don't fall into this habit as it will bite you in the butt. Setup /etc/sudoers they say to use visudo but I find pico works just fine for editing this file.
