Well, I used to have a huge /etc/profile but now it is short and has
lines like;
. /etc/profile.tty
. /etc/profile.env
I find when I then edit the subfiles the contents are more uniform and I
can underestand it better. As an example, I have attached a suggested
Postgres logging.conf file.

The problem then is that they modify the logging.conf file and then
wonder why the change doesn't take effect.
