They are sourced when bash is run as interactive login shell. Also, to completely discard any silly mistake, can you source them by hand when you are logged? Note that bashrc is not sourced on non-loging shells, so it is not relevant here. Are you sure as root it is sourced? It would greatly surprise me. That is, unless you have them symlinked, sourced from withing each other or something. As spoken by the bash man page, and my own experience, on login shells, bash sources /etc/profile, and then, in this order, one of ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login and ~/.profile . ONLY ONE of between these three files, the one that is found first, in that same order. The others are discarded, even if they exist. So, be sure you don't have any empty .bash_profile that is blocking the other two. On non-login shells, the thing is easier, both /etc/bash/bashrc and /home/6thpink/.bashrc are sourced if found. And NONE of the files sourced by a login shell is sourced by a non-login one. -- Jesús Guerrero -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
