I would like to add these variable to all shell environments all the time.
################
# Postgresql

PATH=/usr/local/pgsql/bin:$PATH
export PATH # ?? do I need all these 'export's ?
MANPATH=/usr/local/pgsql/man:$MANPATH
export MANPATH
PGDATA=/usr/local/pgsql/data
export PGDATA
# END Postgres section

/etc/profile advises:
###################################
# /etc/profile for SuSE Linux
#
# PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE /etc/profile. There are chances that your changes
# will be lost during system upgrades. Instead use /etc/profile.local for
# your local settings, favourite global aliases, VISUAL and EDITOR
# variables, etc ...

Ahh!
Therefore I create /etc/profile.local and add the lines I want to it.
Then I reboot.
Then nothing happens.
Suspicion:
Either I need to find the script that reads and executes /etc/profile and have
it also execute /etc/profile.local OR have /etc/profile "execute"
/etc/profile.local.
