well depends see, I built my server and added each user one by one and
already had modified the /etc/skel/.profile file for ksh and I had no
problem. If he had 1000 users already then he'll most likely do it another
way...

That would be extreemly annoying if you had more than a handful of
users. What about the /etc/environment file?
If you don't have it (like RedHat doesn't) you need to modify the PAM
file for login.
In /etc/pam.d/login add something like this:
# This module parses /etc/environment (the standard for setting
# environ vars) and also allows you to use an extended config
# file /etc/security/pam_env.conf.
# (Replaces the `ENVIRON_FILE' setting from login.defs)
auth required pam_env.so
Just prior to the account and session directives. pam_env.so is provided
with RedHat, so I'm not sure why that isn't the default.
