You might want to set those things in the server start section because
even though they may be the same or even different from system wide
settings, I'm not sure that the system default environment is even
loaded at that point - to me it does not make sense to include
/etc/environment or /etc/bash_profile until the per-users shells are
set up, and that's about the time login: happens, or the gdm/kdm
equivalent - and the system is well up and running in a multi-user
environment.
Certain commands and environments (crontabs, for instance) run in a
restricted environment and you shouldn't depend on being able to
access user-level environments or profiles when in those environments.
As you probably know, each process on a unix system can run with
environment settings completely different and untouched from other
processes.
