Sylvain,
I am not sure why we didn't use /etc/profile.d. I remember discussing
it, but when I searched the mailing list archives using the search
function at the top of the archive page, all I got was a bunch of spam
messages that I don't recall ever seeing on the mailing list (at least
not on the dates mentioned). I will have to do a google search for
profile.d on our site, but I haven't got time now. If you could do the
search and summarize where the thread left off, that would be great.
I seem to remember that a profile.d would work for some cases, but it
wouldn't work for all cases... but I cannot give a specific example
(might be the archives as well).
