There are two files that get sourced on login, depending on how you start a session:

    .bash_profile

The only file I have starting with .bash is .bash_history


Since I've had some doubts about the completeness of the Slackware installation on ENU-2 I decided to look at my Slackware laptop. It does not have .bash_profile or .bashrc. The answer is found at:

https://docs.slackware.com/howtos:cli_manual:shells

Slackware does not, by default, use .bashrc or .bash_profile. That is left as an option for the user. I still need to do some more reading to understand why I get my user name when I log in via ssh, but I suspect I'll find it. Alas, work now calls, so I'll pursue that later today.

Thanks to all for the pointers you gave.
