Is .profile read by every shell ?
It's for the Bourne type shells (sh, and bash), but I'm not into those, so I'm not sure if bash cares about .profile or not, or if there's a way to tell it that it should read that.
IIRC, there's a .bashrc for bash, just as there is, IIRC, a .shrc for sh, the original Bourne shell. (You do know that "bash" is an acronym for "Bourne Again SHell", right? A play on the English translation of Jesus' words to Nicodemus in John III:iii: "Except a man be born again ..." which was probably particularly funny in America in the late 1970s...)
.cshrc is read by csh/tcsh, which, incidentally enough, are the same thing on FreeBSD unless for some reason diff(1) is idiotic in this regard:
[604] Fri 25.Mar.2005 19:48:40 [EMAIL PROTECTED]/home/shared] # diff /bin/csh /bin/tcsh
--- and I suppose that's why there's no .tcshrc AFAIK on FBSD.
