[Gllug] Best Way To Set Global Env Variables and Path?

Dear Jason & fellow GLLUGers,

The correct solution depends on which shell the user is
invoking.  This is necessary because the various shells use
different syntax for environment variables.

Certainly /etc/profile.d has bash/csh/sh scripts, but I'm
unsure about the behaviour of their more esoteric brethren,
e.g. tcsh, ...  Do they even read this directory?

RTFH for details once again.

Regards,
