My scenario is:

I have two separate type of users:  ITOE (Information Technology Office
Employees) and regular users.  The ITOE users have full access to the
environment.  All of the regular users have a restricted shell and when they
log in, they see various information that I  have edited into their
$HOME/.profile.  The problem I am having is that I have to copy a .profile
that is specific to those users every time I add a user to the environmnet.

My question(s) is/are:

Is there an easier way to do this?
Is there a way to specify where the .profile comes from?

Thanks for your help.
