Seems to be a bug in package shadow, to which command /bin/login belongs. New steps to reproduce is to run `sudo login` and then login.
** Project changed: linux => ubuntu ** Package changed: ubuntu => linux ** Package changed: linux (Ubuntu) => shadow (Ubuntu) ** Description changed: - Whenever I log in to a virtual terminal it somehow forces $HISTSIZE and - $HISTFILESIZE to 500 even though I've set them in ~/.bashrc to 10000 and - 100000, respectively. This means that a whole lot of the history is lost - immediately after logging it on a virtual terminal. + + Whenever I log in to a virtual terminal or I run + sudo login + and then I log in, it somehow forces $HISTSIZE and $HISTFILESIZE to 500 even though I've set them in ~/.bashrc to 10000 and 100000, respectively.
