That's not correct.
As a LOGIN shell, bash reads ONE file, searching among the following items
in sequence:
a) ~/.bash_profile
b) ~/.bash_login
c) ~/.profile
Whichever one it finds first, that's what it reads. If you also want it
to read ~/.bashrc (you DO want this), then you must ensure that ~/.bashrc
gets sourced/dotted from whatever file bash DOES read.

That's my guess as well.

If he has other stuff in ~/.profile then he may want to source ~/.profile
instead. Then ~/.profile can source ~/.bashrc and everything should be
back to normal.
