AFAIK, /etc/profile would only be effective if you're running bash (not
everyone does) and is normally only executed when bash starts up as an
interactive login shell, which shouldn't affect afpd.
man bash re:/etc/profile "By default, bash normally reads
these files when it is invoked as a login shell"
