I think that the profile read by ltsp client comes from :
/opt/ltsp/i386/etc/profile

but as ltsp 5 uses a squashfs image, you have to run :

sudo ltsp-update-image

if any /opt/ltsp/ file is modified.

(I used this to change the UMASK to 022 to give read/write abilities to
users in the same group).

Hope this will help...
