Igor,

Where do the contents of /etc/skel originate? I install everything 
available via Setup.exe, and my /etc/skel contains only ".bash_profile" 
which contains only this:

-==-
# ~/.bash_profile: executed by bash for login shells.

if [ -e /etc/bash.bashrc ] ; then
   source /etc/bash.bashrc
fi

if [ -e ~/.bashrc ] ; then
   source ~/.bashrc
fi
-==-


/etc/bash.bashrc contains only a comment and two blank lines.
