Scope of exported function

Hi

I'm hoping someone can tell me how to extend the scope of an exported function in the korn shell.

I have written a function in a file that I dot in from my .kshrc file and it works fine.

However I would like this function to be available to anyone in a certain group on the machine without all of them being required to dot it in, in their own .kshrc files.

Can anyone tell me how to do that?

Thanks in advance

hostname(5)							File Formats Manual						       hostname(5)

NAME
hostname - Host name resolution description DESCRIPTION
Host names are domains, where a domain is a hierarchical, dot-separated list of subdomains; for example, the machine monet, in the Berkeley subdomain of the EDU subdomain of the Internet would be represented as follows: monet.Berkeley.EDU Notice that there is no trailing dot. Host names are often used with network client and server programs, which must generally translate the name to an address for use. (This function is generally performed by the gethostbyname() function.) Host names are resolved by the Internet name resolver in the following fashion. If the name consists of a single component (that is, contains no dot), and if the HOSTALIASES environment variable is set to the name of a file, that file is searched for a string matching the input host name. The file should consist of lines made up of two white-space sepa- rated strings, the first of which is the host name alias, and the second of which is the complete host name to be substituted for that alias. If a case-insensitive match is found between the host name to be resolved and the first field of a line in the file, the substi- tuted name is looked up with no further processing. If the input name ends with a trailing dot, the trailing dot is removed, and the remaining name is looked up with no further processing. If the input name does not end with a trailing dot, it is looked up by searching through a list of domains until a match is found. The default search list includes first the local domain, then its parent domains with at least 2 name components (longest first). For example, in the domain CS.Berkeley.EDU, the name lithium.CChem will be checked first as lithium.CChem.CS.Berkeley.EDU and then as lithium.CChem.Berkeley.EDU. Lithium.CChem.EDU will not be tried, as there is only one component remaining from the local domain. The search path can be changed from the default by a system-wide configuration file. SEE ALSO
