A while back I upgraded my slink box and now root's .bash_profile is not
being processed at login. Normal users do not have a problem. The bash
man page says
When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, it
first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/pro-
file, if that file exists. After reading that file, it
looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile,
in that order, and reads and executes commands from the
first one that exists and is readable. The --noprofile
option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit
this behavior.
.bash_profile exists and has 644 permissions. Neither .bash_login nor
.profile exists.
bash is 2.01.1-4.1
When I rename .bash_profile to .bash_login nothing changes, but when I
change its name to .profile it does get processed during login and I get
root's correct path.
Any help appreciated.
