Gentoo by default sources .bashrc from .bash_profile which is, of course, why I asked what shell he is using. If .bashrc isn't getting run, then perhaps he has a different shell without realizing it.
Or perhaps he doesn't have a .bash_profile...
I have a .bash_profile, but i'm not sure if and which shell i'm using. I can only say this: i've installed gentoo. How can i fugure out which shell is set for my user and for the root account ?
The strange thing is that .bash_logout is always executed, but not the .bashrc file. The .bashrc and .bash_profile permission bits don't include the executable bit, and the .bash_profile contains this:
------------------------------
# /etc/skel/.bash_profile:
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/skel/.bash_profile,v 1.10 2002/11/18 19:39:22 azarah Exp $
#This file is sourced by bash when you log in interactively. [ -f ~/.bashrc ] && . ~/.bashrc
