Your .bashrc should be completely silent. If it produces any output
then it will break 'scp' and 'rsync' at the least. Probably other
tools that use a remote shell such as cvs, git, etc.

In my experience, I've never had fortune break scp, but maybe I've
just been lucky.
But, if it does cause problems, just remove it and add it to
.bash_profile instead.
