There's nothing built in to the HP operating system that would allow
you to do this. That being said, the logic is fairly easy to
incorporate.

Mandrake and Redhat Linuxes use a directory called /etc/profile.d
to store a number of shell scripts which set aliases. The standard
~/.bashrc calls these scripts to set them. You could create a
similar set up by creating the directory, and the aliases file
that you want, then editing the /etc/skel/.kshrc file to source
the directory/files. You would have to script the addition to
~/.kshrc for any pre-existing user accounts.

HTH.
