    You can create a file, call it "/etc/profile.d/my-env.sh", with lines such
    as:

            export FOO=bar

    in it. Be sure to make it executable (chmod +x /etc/profile.d/my-env.sh).

    This should work for BASH; if folk use a different shell, you can use the
    same technique, depending on where they source their startup files.

    Cheers
