I have bash 2.04, and I can't find anyway to get the aliases in the
profile to take effect for normal users.
I have source /etc/profile in both .bash_profile and .bashrc on both
normal an root users. When I start as a normal user, the prompt is in
color as set in /etc/profile but the aliases are not in effect
(example: ls is aliased to use colors). ls in color does not work
until I enter source /etc/profile again! I know that the profile
executed, because variables are set that only appear in /etc/profile.
If, however, I use su, ls is available immediately in color.
Is this a bash bug, maybe?
