Typically .bashrc should return no output. If it did, scp and ssh will not work properly. Rsync will refuse to run. So .bashrc should have aliases etc while .bash_profile should have stuff like you only need to set once, like your path and any app variables (PILOTRATE, etc) and maby a fortune command at the end to send out a random fortune cookie. So the general rule is there should be no output from .bashrc.
