When bash is invoked as login-shell, it executes the commandos in.bash_profile, if that exists (if not it searches for .bash_login and finally for .profile). .bashrc is not being looked at. To enable processing of your .bashrc, simply comment out the following lines in your .bash_profile: ## include .bashrc if it exists: #if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then # source ~/.bashrc #fi greetings, Johannes Zarl -- "More than machinery we need humanity" -- Charlie Chaplin, The Great Dictator -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
