There's also /etc/profile, /etc/bash.bashrc, and various SuSE-specific stuff in /etc/profile.d/ and /etc/SuSEconfig/profile

Thank you very much.
I found it in /etc/profile.d/
There is a file named oracle.sh which as i see contains all those env variables
i see i that use environment when i log on.
I also saw there is another very similiar file, named oracle.csh.
Can we say that file is used for korn shell and oracle.sh for bash shell ?

bash and ksh use (mostly) the same syntax. The .csh files are for the C Shell.
