I assume you are on a single host.

To modify the. bashrc for all NEW users, you can edit/modify (with su privilege) the file

/etc/skel/. bashrc

save the file before creating new users.

Be sure to know what you're doing, and test the file before you use it host-wide.

For existing users, you can have them do the modifications/additions individually in case they have already modified their own version.
