The contents of this directory are my .profile, .shrc, and .logout
(with names adjusted for easy viewing) :-)
Note that these are set up so that they will work in any shell
that is Bourne-compatible. In essence, my system looks like
this:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 rworkman rworkman 7 2007-10-15 23:47 .bash_logout -> .logout
lrwxrwxrwx 1 rworkman rworkman 8 2007-10-15 23:47 .bash_profile -> .profile
lrwxrwxrwx 1 rworkman rworkman 5 2007-10-15 23:47 .bashrc -> .shrc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 rworkman rworkman 5 2007-10-15 23:47 .kshrc -> .shrc
Also, the 10-local.sh belongs to /etc/profile.d/ -- make sure it's executable.
It sets aliases and such for *all* users.
The dot.xprofile ($HOME/.xprofile) is sourced when logging in via gdm,
kdm, and such...
