My bad, that is true. An user here had noticed that some shell variables existed in his shell even if no /etc/profile nor ~/.profile (nor other files listed in sh(1) and ksh(1)) existed. We wondered where the defaults came from and we only could find the /.profile file (which, as you have pointed, is not the source of these variables). Some further investigation suggest these variables could come from /etc/ login.conf.
