.bash_profile is executed rather than .bashrc when entering a login shell. See 'man bash'. > > What do I need to do to get this to execute.

The links in /etc/rcS.d are executed during the boot sequence, followed by the links in /etc/rcn.d, where n = runlevel (normally 2 on Debian systems). These links point to scripts in /etc/init.d and are managed with update-rc.d. Bob
