It would be one of the global config files, I'm thinking, perhaps /etc/profile or something it includes. See the manual page for your shells for details on what global and local files they use.

...when user tries to login he would intially land up into his home dir and the .profile file present in home dir would be loaded right? but when i change home dir .profile would be present in the old location only. so if edit the old location would i feel the difference in new location. if yes please let me know how.
There's no magic communication between old location and new, no. But since, as you noticed, it can create new script files when it wants, that's hardly a problem.

NAME
rfstat - get information about a file or directory SYNOPSIS
rfstat directory rfstat filename DESCRIPTION
The rfstat program provides an interface to the shift remote file I/O daemon (rfiod) for getting information about a remote directory or file. The filename or directory argument is either a remote file name of the form: hostname:path or a local file name (not containing the :/ character combination). The output from the rfstat command gives information similar to that of the ls -il command for listing local files or directories, one field per line. EXAMPLE
rfstat /tmp Device : 802 Inode number : 2 Nb blocks : 16 Protection : drwxrwxrwt (41777) Hard Links : 13 Uid : 0 (root) Gid : 0 (root) Size (bytes) : 4096 Last access : Wed Jun 15 07:18:10 2011 Last modify : Wed Jun 15 07:18:10 2011 Last stat. mod. : Wed Jun 15 07:18:10 2011 SEE ALSO
rfio_stat(3), rfiod(1) NOTES
rfstat does not support regular expressions (regexp(5)) in the directory or filename argument. AUTHOR
