I attempted to set an environment variable in rc.local
( WWW_HOME=http:/... ; export WWW_HOME)
that should be set fo all users but it did not work. 

Probably rc.local is allready running in a subshell and
once it is finished it's settings are lost?

What would I have to do ?

Thanks for answers to this relative easy question.
