HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIZE question

["Sergio Cuéllar Valdés" <herrsergio@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I want to increase the number of saved lines in .bash_history. So I
added the lines:

export HISTSIZE=1000
export HISTFILESIZE=1000

to my .bashrc.

But I see no change in the number of lines saved, only 500. I searched
for files in /etc that maybe were setting this parameter, but I found
nothing.

I closed all my terminals, reopened them, execute . .bashrc without
success.  In .bash_history are only 500 lines.

What is wrong ?

Thank you,
Sergio Cuellar
