Can't help you on that one.
What sort of problem did you have with .profile? I just looked at the
bash man page and the order is actually /etc/profile followed by
~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login and then ~/.profile. Only one file of
~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login and ~/.profile is executed if more than
one is present. I'm one of those heretical tcsh folks so the last time
I had to deal with this for sh (as opposed to bash) it was ~/.profile only.
Cheers,
Dave
