Hi, I was surprised to find that in man bash the reference to initialization files is wrong. The bash manual says it reads initialization files from /etc/profile: FILES /bin/bash The bash executable /etc/profile The systemwide initialization file, executed for login shells
Where real life uses /etc/bash/bashrc This part is taken from strace dump: strace bash -i open("/etc/bash/bashrc", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 I use bash from gentoo package: $ equery belongs /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.bz2 [ Searching for file(s) /usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.bz2 in *... ] app-shells/bash-3.2_p17 (/usr/share/man/man1/bash.1.bz2) $ equery belongs /bin/bash [ Searching for file(s) /bin/bash in *... ] app-shells/bash-3.2_p17 (/bin/bash) -- Regards.
