Okay, I have done a couple of things: 1. I appended to the base-passwd recipe and added my own patch that would patch the passwd file to have root use a bash shell. I have verified that this is the case when I login via echo $0. It tells me that root's shell is bash.
2. I have appended to the base-files recipe and added a do_install_append() function to my bbappend file that copies the dot.bashrc to /home/root/.bashrc. I have verified that this is taking place and the .bashrc file is actually in /home/root. 3. I ran 'strace -f bash' after logging in and /home/root/.bashrc is sourced (I saw it in the output and my aliases were available). However, upon first login, it appears that /home/root/.bashrc is NOT sourced by bash. How can I get bash to source that file when I login at a console? Thanks for the help!

What am I missing? I would rather not > have to source the .bashrc file every time I login as root. Try `echo $0` to see the shell you're in. By default you should be in `sh`, which does not source .bashrc. You can execute `bash` after login, or change the login shell of 'root'.
