Hi
on the standard user's home I use everyday I have the .bashrc file
that is read upon login.
Now I created a brand new user (with adduser), but the .bashrc file I
inserted in his home is never read upon login... in /etc/profile and
/etc/bash.profile the .bashrc is actually never read... so how does
it work?
Check .bash_profile for the original user. It is probably sourcing
.bashrc with code similar to:
# include .bashrc if it exists
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
and your new user is probably not doing this.
you're right!
actually the new user did not have .bash_profile at all... I had to
create it like that.
thanks
Lorenzo
