I posted this (see below/[should bash read ~/.bashrc when "ssh localhost date"
runs?])
to the cygwin mailing list. Was I correct? Any comments?
To get Cygwin's attention I need to prove they have a bug first..
related thread: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2005-06/msg00306.html

Below are two tests cases for "ssh localhost date". The Linux
test shows that ~/.bashrc is read. The Cygwin case shows none of
~/{.bash_profile,.bash_login,.profile,.bashrc} are read. Doesn't this
seem like a bug?
Tests today w/linux suggest, this bash man page snippet is important:
Bash attempts to determine when it is being run by the remote shell
daemon, usually rshd. If bash determines it is being run by rshd, it
reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists and is
readable.
