(Answer) (Category) SCO UnixWare 7/OpenUNIX 8/OpenServer 6 FAQ : (Category) System Administration :
Where are all the possible places to set the environment?
All the possible places include:
      /etc/profile
      /etc/cshrc
      /etc/default/su
      $HOME/.profile
      $HOME/.login
      $HOME/.cshrc
      $HOME/.kshrc
      $HOME/.dtprofile

   It is not a good idea to use .kshrc because it gets parsed too often.
   If you put your user's environment modifications in their .profile
   instead, then your system will run faster.

   It's important to note that root's environment is special and that
   root's PATH get's entirely set in /.profile.  This is done as a
   security concern.

   Though I don't claim to have found every one.  It's a mystery to
   me sometimes where these PATHS are created.
