/etc/profile (afaik) is sourced before the ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile
therefore settings for all users should go in the /etc/profile

setting default ~/.bash_profile files for new accounts is done with the files in the /etc/skel directory

i.e:  when a new account is created, files from /etc/skel are copied into the users home directory.

I believe that /etc/profile is used to build a default .bash_profile for new
user accounts.
