Depends on the user shell. For bash/sh/ksh it would be /etc/profile. For csh it would be /etc/login.csh. Other variations also exist.

In RedHat 6/7/8/9, you can use the /etc/profile.d directory to include login scripts that apply to all (be carefull, aplies to root to). Choose a basename (e.g., "my-login") and create two files (my-login.csh and my-login.sh) with the commands, being the first for csh/tcsh and the second for sh/bash/ksh.
