For your personal login shell? If you use bash, then ~/.bash_login and
probably ~/.bashrc. Might be worth writing a ~/.bash_env and then
sourcing them (using: ". ~/.bash_env") from both. You *don't* want to
set a global LC_ALL: that's the responsibility of individual users.
(And even if you are the only user on your machine, you may not want
to set LC_ALL for root.)
