It seems to me that ~/.profile is not being sourced at login, but
~/.bashrc is, on my newly installed Debian Woody.
I'm used to having this in ~/.profile:
------------------------------------------------
if test -f /etc/profile; then
. /etc/profile
fi
if test -f ~/.bashrc; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
------------------------------------------------
...since I'm used to ~/.profile being guaranteed as being sourced at
user login, and then having contents in ~/.profile that make sure that
~/.bashrc is being sourced also.
It seems things are the other way around on Debian...or am I just
confused?
If I'm right, how do I control what *does* happen at user login?
Hope you can help.
Best regards,
David List
