>Description:
The default .profile file defines some very useful aliases
and shell flags like -o emacs. But these settings are effective
for login shells only, i. e. after su(1) or starting the shell in
an xterm(1), you'll have to reenter the environment. So I suggest
to use the ENV feature of the shell.
In the Fix section you'll find a diff for the dot.profile and a
new file dot.shrc.
