I am running M8.0. I have added $HOME/bin to my path and I changed my umask
to 077 in my .bashrc and, when that didn't work, I put umask 077 in my
.bash_profile.
In no case have my changes "taken". My home bin/ directory is still not in
my path and my umask is still the 022 set in /etc/profile. It appears that
bash is not using user-specific .bash* files for anything, at least on my
system. I haven't done anything unusual to my system, it is what was
installed. I have had to change umask to "umask 077" in /etc/profile so
that this change would take place.
What's up with the user config files? Anyone else running into this
situation?
