My /etc/.bash_profile doesn't seem to get executed. According to http://www.gnu.org/manual/bash-2.05a/html_chapter/bashref_6.html#SEC63 it wouldn't, which is contrary to other posts I've seen and Cygwin docs. So consequently, my bash.bashrc and ~/.bashrc do not get executed.
/etc/profile does execute but where exactly is it called from? Is it called from the executable? On a different topic ... I ran mkpasswd -l > /etc/passwd and mkgroup -l /etc/group and still cannot 'su' or 'login' as a different user from bash. Is there something else that needs to be done after that? What is the preferred way to change users (su or login) or should both work? I'm just getting started with cygwin so sorry if I missed the blindingly obvious.
