Just make your own /etc/profile.d and add the following to /etc/profile:

for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do
    if [ -r "$i" ]; then
        . $i
    fi
done
unset i

(Shamelessly cut & paste from the /etc/profile from setup-2.5.25-1 under
Red Hat Linux 9.)

P.S.  I can't believe Debian doesn't have /etc/profile.d.  :-)  Time to
submit the above as a patch?

Did you know?  If you receive a virus warning from a friend and not
through a virus software vendor, it's likely to be a hoax.  See
