Not sure whether you already know this, but ~/.bashrc is for interactive shell, not for login shell, ie. when you login the config file read is ~/.bash_profile or /etc/profile To start your interactive shell type: $ bash Else, have those aliases defined in a file called .bash_aliases in your home dir, and then source that file in your ~/.bash_profile (config file for login shell) with this line: source $HOME/.bash_aliases The skeleton files, I think, are the ones used for creating new accounts. That means when a new user is created, his/her home dir won't be empty, but filled with files drawn from /etc/skel/ Regards, ---fin de respuesta a <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>--- -- Horacio [EMAIL PROTECTED] Valencia - ESPAÑA
