What about from /etc/profile like LOGNAME?

Subject: [aix-l] Exporting a variable as readonly in ksh
I'm having a problem getting a variable to keep its readonly attribute.
Here's what I'm doing:
readonly TMOUT=1
export TMOUT
As expected, TMOUT has a value of 1 and you receive a message that it is
readonly if you try to change it. If I now open a new ksh subshell, the
TMOUT variable retains the value of 1 since it was exported. However, in
this subshell the variable is not readonly and can be reset by a user.
Is there any way to get the variable to be readonly in any subshell as well?
