When I start vim on a file it does not source the ~/.vimrc file.
That file is actually a symlink to the hard file elsewhere.

Permissions are on both slink and hard copy:
ls -l ~/.vimrc:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 reader staff 35  [...] /export/home/reader/.vimrc -> \
                       /cvsb/zfs/export/home/reader/.vimrc

ls -l /cvsb/zfs/export/home/reader/.vimrc:
-rw-r--r-- 1 reader wheel 8649 [....] \
        /cvsb/zfs/export/home/reader/.vimrc

user reader belongs to both staff and wheel groups.

If I souce ~/.vimrc manually after opening a file it works fine:

vim .bashrc
 :so ~/.vimrc

Then all the setting I have in ~/.vimrc show up.  Obvious because
syntax highlignting suddenly comes on.

What might cause ~/.vimrc to be ignored on vim start

It works fine on my system, but the file is owned by me, and it's not a symlink.
