Best practices for defining Environment Variables/User Accounts in Linux

4081Feb 7 2007 — edited Feb 8 2007

Hello,

After reading throught the Quick Install guide for 10gR2 on x86_64 Linux, I see that it is not recommended to define ANY variables in .bash_profile.

I'm hoping to get a Best practices approach for defining environment variables - right now we use the oracle linux account for administration including sql*plus. So, where should the myriad variables be defined? Is it important enough to create a user account in linux to support best practices?

What variables, exactly, should be defined? It seems that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is no longer being used?

Thanks in advance
Doug
