6 from man bash

8 Do not read either the system-wide startup file /etc/profile or
9 any of the personal initialization files ~/.bash_profile,
10 ~/.bash_login, or ~/.profile. By default, bash reads these
11 files when it is invoked as a login shell (see INVOCATION

18 Maybe bash treats ssh like rsh and executes .bashrc for ssh connections,
19 not .bash_profile...
