Generally an issue with either /etc/profile, ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc If you edit the versions of .bash_profile and .bashrc in /etc/skel then any new users will be given the functionality. Edit the current .bash_profile and .bashrc for the user you're having issues with and you should see the same result!
