Restoring/Rebuilding Obliterated /etc/profile
So... I was messing around with cat __ __ > ___ the other day, trying to combine several nifty little files into a single /etc/profile, ... and somehow I ended up with only the last file, it having apparently overwritten everything else, including the original /etc/profile (which, being an idiot, I didn't back up before trying this).
So, long story short, my /etc/profile now consists solely of alias definitions and a few environment variables I've tried to add after the fact to fix the locale errors I keep getting every time I run something.
What should be in this file? Where could I find a replacement, or, if not a replacement, at least some idea what I need to put in it?
I'm running ubuntu-server jaunty, with xfce4 installed because I got tired of using my 10 yr old laptop and turned my server into a desktop machine.
