Could anybody tell me where I can put a list of environment variables
(& their values) that everybody will get at login, regardless of which
shell they login to. Currently, our (old) tcsh is hacked to look in
/etc/cshinit, but of course users with /bin/sh don't get these variables.

I've tried putting them in /etc/rc, but for some reason they are not
passed onto the children process at bootup time.

BTW, we're running a Pyramid 90x with dual SysV & 4.3BSD universes!


				Thanks all,
