Tobias, question -- you want your local .bashrc called not only for non-logic shells, but also for login shells, yes?
Yes, I would like to have it included for both login shells and non-login shells. Not that I cannot change my files. Quoting from ~/.bashrc (based on /etc/skel/.bashrc): # There are 3 different types of shells in bash: the login shell, normal shell # and interactive shell. Login shells read ~/.profile and interactive shells # read ~/.bashrc; in our setup, /etc/profile sources ~/.bashrc - thus all # settings made here will also take effect in a login shell.
I'd like not to overwrite the users ~/.profile not ~/.bashrc. Thanks, Werner :-)
I'm sure that this change will break several user installations. I know some post-installation scripts which simply add things to ~/.bashrc and not to ~/.profile. And even in the current version the skel file claims that .bashrc is also read for login shells. If you plan to change this, please put a HUGE notice in the release notes and change the skel/.bashrc file. Note in the release notes also how to get the old behaviour back. On single-user installations, the user will probably change his ~/.??* files. But for for big user installations, the administrator surely wants to have the old behaviour instead of dealing with 1000 users of whose 200 have all of a sudden a problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
