/etc/profile.d
Now create the <filename class='directory'>/etc/profile.d</filename> directory, where the individual initialization scripts are placed:
<userinput>install --directory --mode=0755 --owner=root --group=root /etc/profile.d</userinput>
/etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh
Using the bash completion script below is controversial. Not all users like it. It adds many (usually over 1000) lines to the bash environment and makes it difficult to use the 'set' command to examine simple environment variables. Omitting this script does not interfere with the ability of bash to use the tab key for file name completion.
This script imports bash completion scripts, installed by many other BLFS packages, to allow TAB command line completion.
<userinput>cat &gt; /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh &lt;&lt; "EOF"
<literal># Begin /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh
# Import bash completion scripts

# If the bash-completion package is installed, use its configuration instead
if [ -f /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ]; then

# Check for interactive bash and that we haven't already been sourced.
if [ -n "${BASH_VERSION-}" -a -n "${PS1-}" -a -z "${BASH_COMPLETION_VERSINFO-}" ]; then

# Check for recent enough version of bash.
if [ ${BASH_VERSINFO[0]} -gt 4 ] || \
[ ${BASH_VERSINFO[0]} -eq 4 -a ${BASH_VERSINFO[1]} -ge 1 ]; then
[ -r "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/bash_completion" ] &amp;&amp; \
. "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/bash_completion"
if shopt -q progcomp &amp;&amp; [ -r /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion ]; then
# Source completion code.
. /usr/share/bash-completion/bash_completion
fi
fi
fi

else

# bash-completions are not installed, use only bash completion directory
if shopt -q progcomp; then
for script in /etc/bash_completion.d/* ; do
if [ -r $script ] ; then
. $script
fi
done
fi
fi

# End /etc/profile.d/bash_completion.sh</literal>
EOF</userinput>
Make sure that the directory exists:
<userinput>install --directory --mode=0755 --owner=root --group=root /etc/bash_completion.d</userinput>
For a more complete installation, see <ulink url="&blfs-wiki;/bash-shell-startup-files#bash-completions"/>.
/etc/profile.d/dircolors.sh
This script uses the <filename>~/.dircolors</filename> and <filename>/etc/dircolors</filename> files to control the colors of file names in a directory listing. They control colorized output of things like <command>ls --color</command>. The explanation of how to initialize these files is at the end of this section.
<userinput>cat &gt; /etc/profile.d/dircolors.sh &lt;&lt; "EOF"
<literal># Setup for /bin/ls and /bin/grep to support color, the alias is in /etc/bashrc.
if [ -f "/etc/dircolors" ] ; then
eval $(dircolors -b /etc/dircolors)
fi

if [ -f "$HOME/.dircolors" ] ; then
eval $(dircolors -b $HOME/.dircolors)
fi

alias ls='ls --color=auto'
alias grep='grep --color=auto'</literal>
EOF</userinput>
/etc/profile.d/extrapaths.sh
This script adds some useful paths to the <envar>PATH</envar> and can be used to customize other PATH related environment variables (e.g. LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc) that may be needed for all users.
<userinput>cat &gt; /etc/profile.d/extrapaths.sh &lt;&lt; "EOF"
<literal>if [ -d /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ] ; then
pathappend /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig PKG_CONFIG_PATH
fi
if [ -d /usr/local/bin ]; then
pathprepend /usr/local/bin
fi
if [ -d /usr/local/sbin -a $EUID -eq 0 ]; then
pathprepend /usr/local/sbin
fi

if [ -d /usr/local/share ]; then
pathprepend /usr/local/share XDG_DATA_DIRS
fi

# Set some defaults before other applications add to these paths.
pathappend /usr/share/info INFOPATH</literal>
EOF</userinput>
The <command>man</command> program automatically deduce the search path for man pages by examining the content of the <envar>PATH</envar> variable, see <ulink role='man' url='&man;manpath.5'>manpath(5)</ulink> for details. Setting the <envar>MANPATH</envar> variable may override the automatic deduction, so the BLFS editors do not recommend to set it. If you must set it for any reason, it's better to start its value with a colon (<literal>:</literal>), for example <command>MANPATH=:/opt/somepkg/share/man:/opt/otherpkg/share/man</command> so the paths listed in the <envar>MANPATH</envar> variable will be appended to the automatically deduced value instead of overriding it.
/etc/profile.d/readline.sh
This script sets up the default <filename>inputrc</filename> configuration file. If the user does not have individual settings, it uses the global file.
<userinput>cat &gt; /etc/profile.d/readline.sh &lt;&lt; "EOF"
<literal># Set up the INPUTRC environment variable.
if [ -z "$INPUTRC" -a ! -f "$HOME/.inputrc" ] ; then
INPUTRC=/etc/inputrc
fi
export INPUTRC</literal>
EOF</userinput>
/etc/profile.d/umask.sh
Setting the <command>umask</command> value is important for security. Here the default group write permissions are turned off for system users and when the user name and group name are not the same.
<userinput>cat &gt; /etc/profile.d/umask.sh &lt;&lt; "EOF"
<literal># By default, the umask should be set.
if [ "$(id -gn)" = "$(id -un)" -a $EUID -gt 99 ] ; then
umask 002
else
umask 022
fi</literal>
EOF</userinput>
/etc/profile.d/i18n.sh
This script sets an environment variable necessary for native language support. A full discussion on determining this variable can be found on the <ulink url="&lfs-root;/chapter09/locale.html">Configuring the System Locale</ulink> page.
<userinput>cat &gt; /etc/profile.d/i18n.sh &lt;&lt; "EOF"
<literal># Set up i18n variables
for i in $(locale); do
unset ${i%=*}
done

if [[ "$TERM" = linux ]]; then
export LANG=C.UTF-8
else
export LANG=<replaceable>&lt;ll&gt;</replaceable>_<replaceable>&lt;CC&gt;</replaceable>.<replaceable>&lt;charmap&gt;</replaceable><replaceable>&lt;@modifiers&gt;</replaceable>
fi</literal>
EOF</userinput>
<userinput>cat &gt; /etc/profile.d/i18n.sh &lt;&lt; "EOF"
<literal># Set up i18n variables
for i in $(locale); do
unset ${i%=*}
done

if [[ "$TERM" = linux ]]; then
export LANG=C.UTF-8
else
source /etc/locale.conf

for i in $(locale); do
key=${i%=*}
if [[ -v $key ]]; then
export $key
fi
done
fi</literal>
EOF</userinput>
Other Initialization Values
Other initialization can easily be added to the <filename>profile</filename> by adding additional scripts to the <filename class='directory'>/etc/profile.d</filename> directory.
/etc/bashrc
Here is a base <filename>/etc/bashrc</filename>. Comments in the file should explain everything you need.
