I believe it's correct to assume that the invocation of bash via ssh is a login shell, not an interactive shell. Cygwin puts its path additions in /etc/profile. The corallary for a user would be ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login as the INVOCATION section of the bash man page suggests.

I've put path amendments into /.bashrc and ~/.bashrc. As well as in the bash.bashrc files in /etc. Where do I put the path statements so they have effect when invoked from ssh so I can get things like /bin into the path? (I've read man bash invocation and searched the mailing list archives.)
