  I reckon that /etc/profile ends just after "++ id -ng" (fell through the
switch without hitting any of the cases) and you're now in ~/.bash_profile,
which includes these lines right at the start ...


# source the users bashrc if it exists
if [ -e "${HOME}/.bashrc" ] ; then
  source "${HOME}/.bashrc"
fi


  Hopefully the quotes there will protect the space in $HOME, and it just
means that you need to d2u ~/.bash_profile.


    cheers,
