The computers at the university I attend/work at have the same bug. They are running Debian 6.0.4. Some terminal output:
[12:18] salt:~$ lsb_release -dr Description: Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.4 (squeeze) Release: 6.0.4 Codename: squeeze [12:18] salt:~$ apt-cache policy bash{,-doc} bash: Installed: 4.1-3 Candidate: 4.1-3 Version table: *** 4.1-3 0 500 http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main amd64 Packages 500 file:/import/install60/ squeeze/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status bash-doc: Installed: 4.1-3 Candidate: 4.1-3 Version table: *** 4.1-3 0 500 http://ftp.se.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main amd64 Packages 500 file:/import/install60/ squeeze/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status [12:18] salt:~$ man bash | tail -n+187 | head -11 Bash attempts to determine when it is being run with its standard input connected to a a network connection, as if by the remote shell daemon, usually rshd, or the secure shell daemon sshd. If bash determines it is being run in this fashion, it reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc and ~/.bashrc, if these files exist and are readable. It will not do this if invoked as sh. The --norc option may be used to inhibit this behavior, and the --rcfile option may be used to force another file to be read, but rshd does not generally invoke the shell with those options or allow them to be specified.
