Re: profile

The first process the kernel starts is init which has its configuration
in /etc/inittab. Have a read through this file and also through the
scripts init runs such as rc.sysinit.
When you log in, your shell will have a login file it reads, for Bash
its .bash_profile. The file .bashrc gets read whenever a new shell gets
started (say when you open an xterm for example). If you look at
.bash_profile you will probably see something like ..

if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then .~/.bashrc; fi

which just means that if .bashrc exists then it gets read by your login
shell.
The tcsh shell has .login and a .tschrc which do the same thing for it.
