to configure the environment for all users, beyond the trivial cases that PAM can handle. Put all your transient shell settings (aliases, functions, shell options) in ~/.bashrc Put all your environment variables in ~/.profile Create or edit file ~/.bash_profile and include commands: if [ -f ~/.profile ]; then . ~/.profile fi Create or edit file ~/.xsessionrc and include the same commands as above.
