Changing it now won't do him any good - the one on skel is just a template file copied over to the new home dir when a user is created. He'll have to diff the files and apply the bits he wants to his own .bash_profile Or do the same to /etc/profile* to have it apply to all users as a global default -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
