SuSE Linux - Custom profile question

I am loading SuSE Linux Ent, ver 10.

I need to set the profile default, so any new accounts will pull in a command to run our menu.

When they exit the menu, they get logged off, so they never see a command line.

I am seeing for custom settings that go to everyone to make the file /etc/bash.bashrc.local and anything in that gets pulled in at login. That works for some of my uses to define variables, but not for the menu, because obviously I don't want mine or anyone in my department to automatically get locked into the menu.

With 100 uses, I don't want to have to add this one at a time either.

All the profile configs that I found so far are all (every shell).

Anyone know where the file that sets the defaults for all new accounts?

Thanks!

Yet again, bitten by the lack of categories in the q&a section. A few hardware questions, but mostly windows questions has me buried already.

drat drat and double drat.

to launch the menu from /etc/init.d/?

I am sure that you have thought of this and there is a reason. It is more of a windows approach.

In the SCO Openserver that we are moving from, you could change the default settings for all profiles that are made.

We have them launch their terminal emulator, they log in and are taken directly to the memu system. When they exit the menu system, they get logged out of the server.

It isn't a service to start from init.d. It is a cobol program (well, set of programs, actually)

Having problems with my paperwork for the SLED support, but will try to call SuSE today anyways to see if they have my answer.

To be honest, I just looked took what I would do in windows and did a search for the Linux equivalent.

Sorry I could not be more of a help.

And having someone submit anything is better than nothing.

Thanks.
