Re: Creating User environment variables.

Hi David,

The name of the file is '.bash_profile' in Linux 'bash' shell. It is located in the home directory of the user account.

HTH,

I think you are misunderstanding me.  I have a number of environment
variables that I want to pass onto the user at login.  I should be able to
do so by modifying a file (like .profile) that is launched when the user
logs in.  I tried to vi /bin/bash and it was not possible.  THerefore, I am
trying to find out where this is done.  I am sure that others are doing
this.
