In my understanding there is no inherent harm in always starting a login shell, you are only loosing the option to separate stuff that you want to run always (.bashrc) or just at login (.profile[1]) Performance is also typically not a concern unless you run some heavy and/or network stuff in your .profile. [1] in Debian's default configuration, which also takes care to source .bashrc if the login shell is bash. Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser
