That language isn't clear to me either. The following things cross my
mind as possibilities:
* Bash login profiles. This doc is an example of describing these as
user profiles:
http://linux-training.be/security/ch04.html
* LDAP directory user entities, groups (roles) and profile/directory
metadata, assuming the *nix system tied to an LDAP for authentication
* Mail client profiles (ex. I have separate business and personal
identities defined in Thunderbird)
i finished the section ... it dealt only with customizing /etc/skel,
/etc profile, and so on and so on, all standard stuff ... completely
misleading reference to "user profiles." grrrrrrrr ...
