You can put them in the /etc/profile for bash users, in /etc/csh.cshrc
for csh users,
/etc/zshenv for zsh users, ...
I don't think there is one global place for any shell as you want the
parameters to
be set for each user.
The file /etc/rc.local is for configuration specific to the system, not
the users. For
example, it overwrites the /etc/issue and /etc/issue.net at each reboot.
