Interesting, I just created a new user to see what it would create and it appears as if there is no ~/.profile or ~/.bash_profile for new users. So if you have either one, then you must have created it for yourself. Very odd, I would have expected OS X to create one of the two by default (even if it was just a skeleton). -- Chas.
