setup environment variables for groups
 
I can setup variables in ~/.bashrc for my own shells.
I can also setup variables globally in /etc/bashrc .

but then how do I setup variables for a group in Linux? So that users who belong to this group will see the variables, but not others?

Thanks

In the global configuration file a simple check using the id command should do the trick. For example:
Code:
if [[ $(id -g) -eq 100 ]]
then
  export SOMETHING=some_value
fi
