Re: [tlug] .bashrc not being source correctly

[Bruno Raoult <braoult@example.com>]

I just made a test, and .bashrc is evaluated when I "su -" (and also
when I "su"):

br@example.com:~$ cat ~br-test/.bashrc
export FOO=BAR
br@example.com:~$ echo $FOO

br@example.com:~$ su - br-test
Password:
br-test@example.com:~$ echo $FOO
BAR
br-test@example.com:~$ logout
br@example.com:~$ cat ~br-test/.bashrc
export FOO=BAR
br@example.com:~$ echo $FOO

br@example.com:~$ su br-test
Password:
br-test@example.com:/home/br$ echo $FOO
BAR

br.
