.bash_profile is loaded for login shells. |
| 7 |
.bashrc is loaded for for interactive shells that are not login shells. |

The reason .bashrc is usually loaded when you log-in as a user is that |
| 10 |
the skeleton file gentoo defaults to when creating a new user |
| 11 |
(/etc/skel/*) has the line |
| 12 |
[[ -f ~/.bashrc ]] && . ~/.bashrc |
| 13 |
which sources .bashrc |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
The default for root, however, does not contain that line (at least on |
| 16 |
my box, the installation of which is at least 3 years old). I think |
| 17 |
that is cause enough to file a bug against the wordings in the ebuild. |
