Jeremy, I'm not sure what version of FreeBSD you are using but I'd
like to point out that in 6.2 and 6.3-REL his version is correct and
yours will not work.
.bashrc is not sourced on login on any of my hosts. I have ".
~/.bashrc" in my .bash_profile. And I just commented it out,
and .bash_profile environment was set up, and the stuff in .bashrc was
not.
Is this perhaps an X versus SSH login sort of thing? I don't know.
We have no X environment, this is entirely logging in via SSH.
