No it's not. bash does not recommend anything of the sort. It just |
| 11 |
states what files are optionally used during initialisation. |

What I'm driving at is that you're making claims that things are broken |
| 14 |
or recommended when in fact they are not. Try reading some RFC's and |
| 15 |
then you'll have a clearer (hopefully!!) understanding of the words MUST |
| 16 |
and SHOULD. Also you'll understand that if those words are not present |
| 17 |
then it's entirely optional. I fully recommend reading RFC 2131 [1] as |
| 18 |
I'm very well acquainted with it and it also provides lots of good |
| 19 |
examples of these words :) |

PS - This does not necessarily mean I think /etc/skel files in /root is |

a bad thing, I just think you're going completely the wrong way about |
| 29 |
getting this done. |
