Please post your edited root .bashrc file

This is my root's .bashrc

Code:

. /etc/profile

Of course, my user .bashrc is much more comprehensive

Code:

#!/bin/bash
xhost +local:root > /dev/null
. /etc/profile

can you explain that . /etc/profile ? I think that is against the original way (see man page of bash, invocation)

Quote:

When bash is invoked as an interactive login shell, or as a non-interactive shell with the --login option, it first reads and executes commands from the file /etc/profile, if that file exists. After reading that file, it looks for ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, and ~/.profile, in that order, and reads and executes commands from the first one that exists and is readable. The --noprofile option may be used when the shell is started to inhibit this behavior.

...

When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists. This may be inhibited by using the --norc option. The --rcfile file option will force bash to read and execute commands from file instead of ~/.bashrc.

Yep, running /etc/profile from bashrc is most definitely wrong.

And having xhost in there isn't really appropriate either.

This was the advice I once received in this forum when I was running terminal, su-ing up and then running thunar (as root). Before adding xhost to .bashrc, I couldn't get the thunar icons.

Several hundred posts have passed since then so it will take me a while to track down which culprit gave me that advice.

ETA I found where the xhost advice came from: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...8/#post4302571

Where the /etc/profile came from I don't remember - but it works so I am not in a hurry to fix it.

in my user .bashrc, I like to add a timeout (in sec) for ssh connection

Code:

# ssh timeout
if [ ! -z "$SSH_CONNECTION" ]; then
        export TMOUT=600
fi

I am following BLFS approach for this and it seems good: login shell calls /etc/profile with system wide variables and calls /etc/bashrc with system wide aliases, ~/.bash_profile for custom environment variables and same thing goes for ~/.bashrc.

I thought this was great. I am still taking notes and getting ideas.
