Ok, "Only if the program doesn't support a site-wide default configuration and the package maintainer doesn't have time to add it should a default per-user file be placed in /etc/skel." In this case, /etc/profile *may* be used (by checking whether $SHELL is /bin/bash). Moreover, policy says: Ideally the sysadmin should not have to do any configuration other than that done (semi-)automatically by the postinst script. Well, I'm sure than 99% of people dislike current default bash prompt in /etc/profile. At least we could put the current dir, and maybe that 99% would decrease a lot. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: latin1 iQCVAgUBNUSaBiqK7IlOjMLFAQH+9QQAnWoSQMRCk0xaD9mr836Odj7FO+f8V4o2 0er8moXKSKPUSWr+W7D/442woj8U/bnqdBI0QG4Wa77tsR2mQvmCGb7qe84mPHNl MBImtKu5l8BTZdS5U1QVG3yGxepg4MgOjx4xX7fR/Hrh0TEohTDaxJKkBOVx1475 qnMa33ZxRaE= =l9/d -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
