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.
