Sorry if this isn't the place for this, wasn't sure where to send this, and this list is listed as the package maintainer for bash in Ubuntu.
I verified that the upstream is correct. I found this while reading bash[1] on Ubuntu 14.04. Here's the main block: 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. And the line in question: ~/.bashrc and ~/.bashrc, if these files exist and are readable. It seems like a reference to /etc/bash.bashrc was substituted with ~/.bashrc (back with 10.04?), and while the line isn't incorrect, it is a typo. Also this shows up: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/trusty/man1/bash.1.html http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/saucy/man1/bash.1.html http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/raring/man1/bash.1.html http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/quantal/man1/bash.1.html http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/bash.1.html http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man1/bash.1.html Thank you!
