Environment variables /etc/skel/local.profile and /etc/skel/.profile

Question

Hi
I have a problem to provide the working environment for ALL THE USERS :/ with all the files in this directory:
*/etc/skel/*
In Oracle Documentation says: You can use these files ( */etc/skel/local.profile* ) as a starting point and then modify them to create a standard set of files
that provide the work environment common to all users. Defines the user's environment at login.
I edit the file */etc/skel/.profile* for put the JAVA_HOME variable for all the users of this way
nano /etc/skel/.profile
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/bin/java *#I added this variable*
export PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
if [ -f /usr/bin/less ]; then
export PAGER="/usr/bin/less -ins"
elif [ -f /usr/bin/more ]; then
export PAGER="/usr/bin/more -s"
fi
case ${SHELL} in
*bash)
typeset +x PS1="\u@\h:\w\\$ "
esac
Later I check the parameters to add the user
useradd -D
group=staff,10 project=default,3 basedir=/export/home
skel=/etc/skel shell=/usr/bin/bash inactive=0
expire= auths= profiles= roles= limitpriv=
defaultpriv= lock_after_retries=
adduser -m testuser
passwd testuser
I log on as testuser and check if the variable JAVA_HOME is available, but no.
Why it can not see that variable as available? THAN YOU FOR YOUR HELP

Try local.profile instead of .profile
If there is one already there then rename it first.
