That starts a login shell. Bash has a misfeature in that login shells don't read the .bashrc. They only read the .bash_profile. You would have the same problem when login in. So either remove that line, or update your ~/.bash_profile so that it reads your bashrc, something like: [ -f ~/.bashrc ] && [ -r ~/.bashrc ] && case $- in (*i*) . ~/.bashrc;; esac That is a dirty hack. For instance, it doesn't work OK in cases where bash is called with --login --rcfile /other/file Also, some bash are built with support of a system wide bashrc. Then, you might want to do something similar in /etc/profile if you're the system administrator. (with an additional test that the shell is bash as /etc/profile is shared by several shells) IMO, zsh is a much better choice as an interactive shell.
