Hi Yankee,

Login files are.

/etc/profile
$HOME/.profile

You can edit the login files from root login. You can add
the alias in login files like below,

alias ll='ls -l'
alias lla='ls -la'
alias ltr='ls -ltr'
alias llh='ls -l . | egrep htm\|html'
alias c=clear
alias rm='rm -i'

After, you do so, log out your current session, and relogin.
