I'm really confused by bash, .bashrc, .bash_profile, .profile, etc, etc, etc
Is there a good system for setting variables, aliases, etc that need to be
set for user X, whether I log in at a login prompt or using su? I'm
confused by all the different .profile options (there are at least 3 for
bash, why is that?)
Mark.
