On the forums, I've seen the question, "Why isn't my .bashrc being executed when I log in as root but is being executed when I log in as a normal user?," asked half a dozen times on the forums. Heck, I even asked it myself a few years ago. Now, two years later, from a slightly more mature level of domain knowledge, I have to ask why the root cause shouldn't be addressed. Why can't the simple little default .bash_profile from /etc/skel be put into /root as well?
