The -l option to bash *should* > source /etc/profile and your ~/.bash_profile. Additionally it should > source your .bashrc - if any of these are present. Actually, please reread 'man bash'. In a login shell, bash only directly sources /etc/profile, then the first of ~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, or ~/.profile that exists. Therefore, if you want ~/.bashrc sourced in login shells, YOU must ensure that one of the other files sources it. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
