Hi, In Gentoo bash reads /etc/bash/bashrc when it's started as non-login shell, which can prevent a clean environment from being created (the default file however is only used for settings PS1). I discovered this on my newly-installed Gentoo system, but I don't know if it's a recent change, since I used a quite old version before (where bash didn't read /etc/bash/bashrc).
Maybe it's not a proper solution, but a workaround is to start bash in posix mode (with --posix), and set the ENV variable to ~/.bashrc -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
