Profile and environment variable

Hi,

I'm using solaris 8 and I need to know where I can add the following variable to have it applied to all my user Ids.

I tried to add this to /etc/profile but not working when i check with "env" command :

export PW_MATRIX=/usr/local/ccms/security/dat/.PASSWORD_MATRIX
export CLASSPATH=.:/usr/local/ccms/security/jclass/pwm/PwMatrix.jar:/usr/local/ccms/lib/libpwMatrix.so
export CLASS_PATH=/usr/local/ccms/security/jclass/pwm/PwMatrix.jar
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/ccms/lib:/deus01/eus/oracle/9.2.0-64/lib:/usr/local/ccms/lib/libpwMatrix.so
export ORA_CLIENT_LIB=shared

Thanks very much for your help,

Fabien

it should work in /etc/profile ... however, try using Bourne shell syntax ...
Code:
PW_MATRIX=/usr/local/ccms/security/dat/.PASSWORD_MATRIX
CLASSPATH=.:/usr/local/ccms/security/jclass/pwm/PwMatrix.jar:/usr/local/ccms/lib/libpwMatrix.so
CLASS_PATH=/usr/local/ccms/security/jclass/pwm/PwMatrix.jar
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/ccms/lib:/deus01/eus/oracle/9.2.0-64/lib:/usr/local/ccms/lib/libpwMatrix.so
ORA_CLIENT_LIB=shared
export PW_MATRIX CLASSPATH CLASS_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH ORA_CLIENT

This depends on what shell your users use. /etc/profile is right for many shells, but not all. The man page for the shell should give you the file name. For csh, it's /etc/.login.
