environment variables

hello... i've got a problem with environment variables...
basically it is this, when i telnet or ssh into my linux
machine, the same bash environment variables are not set
as when i physically log into the linux machine..
do i need to manually run ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile when logging
in via telnet to get bash to initialize the environment variables?
weird.. thanks...

Which of the bash variables don't get set?

the env variables that don't get set are quite a few orcale environment variables which need to be set to run sqlplus properly...
