Hi. What's the status on this?
I'd also say root's .profile/.bashrc should be rather empty per default, a user can still copy the files from bash's /etc/skel/-stuff if he wants. But another thing. Although bash is required/essential, I guess: base-files should be rather neutral on the used shell, shouldn't it? So does it make sense to remove /usr/share/base-files/dot.bashrc completely from it, as .bashrc is stricly speaking only for bash? It's empty anway nowadays (everything is commented)... Is root created by adduser during installation? If so, wouldn't it make sense to move responsibility of the installation of root's .profile/.bashrc/etc. to that? Than base-files could drop both files completely. Cheers, Chris. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
