Xfree86 update and profile-file

Hi!

I updated my Xfree86 and now it doesn't seem to use my /etc/profile file. There is some export lines that I have added but they still don't show up when typing export at the console.

Any ideas what have I done wrong?

You can set up your ~/.bash_profile to source your ~/.bashrc:

Code:

if [ -e ~/.bashrc ]

then

    source ~/.bashrc

fi

...and then set up your ~/.bashrc to source your /etc/profile:

Code:

if [ -e /etc/profile ]

then

    source /etc/profile

fi

That should make sure all settings are always set, no matter how you log in.
