I fully apologize because my problem was that I did not restart my 
computer. When reading the doc,
I understood "form start on" as "from start on bash". Sorry. I made 
another tests with new system variables
and I found that these new system variables was not set in rlogin session.
So I reboot my NT4 station and now it's clear for me.I needed to reboot 
first my
computer before testing rlogin.

Thank you very much, it helped me focused further on this weird behaviour.
