Sshd executes bash as a login shell. Bash manpage says:


       Login shells:
         On login (subject to the -noprofile option):
               if /etc/profile exists, source it.

               if ~/.bash_profile exists, source it,
                 else if ~/.bash_login exists, source it,
                   else if ~/.profile exists, source it.

         On exit:
               if ~/.bash_logout exists, source it.

       Non-login interactive shells:
         On startup (subject to the -norc and -rcfile options):
               if ~/.bashrc exists, source it.


I am using the '-login' flag to bash in cygnus.bat. Then I have system 
wide settings in /etc/profile and my personal ones in ~/.profile. It also
works with sshd.
