Hi
Can you explain little bit more on what to write in script in
etc/profiles.d? I also want to update environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
how to do that.
This is my first time on linux in my whole life.
this is an example for sh/bash. in your kindness you should also adapt
it for ksh / csh
#! /bin/bash
export PATH=$PATH:/my/new/folder/
export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/new/path/to/be/added/to/this/variable
Mind that adding a global LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not at all a good idea
(it might interfere with other existing applications) so you'd better
just provide a script, available in the normal path of the users, which
would set this variable only when needed and for the period of time that
is needed.

Add a Readme.Fedora file to your package describing the reasoning and
the needs. There are a miriad of ways to manage a local firewall and as
sysadmin I would not be happy with a random package messing with my
firewall.
