Hi Drew!
Believe it or not, systemwide bashrc sourcing isn't actually built-in to bas=
h by default (though in my opinion, it should be). This behavior of global c=
onfig sourcing actually comes from default /etc/profile files that come with=
Linux distros. Since FreeBSD uses csh/tcsh by default, of course, it comes w=
ith no such thing. However, it's fairly easy to add. The following snippet o=
f code goes into your /etc/profile:
if [ "$PS1" ]; then
if [ "$BASH" ] && [ "$BASH" !=3D "/bin/sh" ]; then
if [ -f /usr/local/etc/bash.bashrc ]; then
=00=00=00=00=00=00. /usr/local/etc/bash.bashrc
fi
fi
fi
If the shell is interactive, is a bash shell, and the file /usr/local/etc/ba=
sh.bashrc exists, it sources it.
This is the snippet of code I use; I think it was originally from Debian.=20=
