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).
