[cobalt-developers] .profile on Raq2 ?

["phobo" <antiphobo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On a Cobalt RAQ 2

In a setup I have been asked to do this Include the contents of this file in
your .profile :

----
SHLIB_PATH=$SHLIB_PATH:/usr/local/openlink/lib
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/openlink/bin:/usr/local/openlink/samples/
ODBCINSTINI=/usr/local/openlink/bin/odbcinst.ini
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/openlink/bin:/usr/local/openlink/samples/
export UDBCINI ODBCINI ODBCINSTINI PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH LIBPATH
----

How do i do this ? I could not find a file called .profile anywhere, I
understand it is part of the login-scripts etc, but other than that ... ?
