There is an apparently empty directory, /etc/skel, that upon closer
inspection contains some nice default bash junk:
$ ls -a /etc/skel/
total 32K
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4.0K 2013-06-06 10:53 .
drwxr-xr-x 113 root root 12K 2014-01-05 01:24 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 127 2013-06-06 10:53 .bash_logout
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 193 2013-06-06 10:53 .bash_profile
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 551 2013-06-06 10:53 .bashrc
drwx------ 2 root root 4.0K 2007-11-23 14:25 .ssh
The 'useradd' program {might,should} install these for you; if not it
can be coaxed into it with the --skel flag.
The .bash_profile in there does what Alan suggests.
