[cobalt-users] Qube2 login sequence

[Mike Vanecek <nospam99@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been trying to get the Qube2 to allow me to set a global alias by
putting it in /etc/bashrc. However, what I have now determined (by using echo
msg) is that the telnet login does not use /etc/bashrc in its login sequence.
It does run /etc/profile as the last item in the login sequence.

How can I determine the login sequence?  For example, where is the NOTICE TO
ROOT USER generated during the login? If I understand it, alias commands
cannot go in /etc/profile, and /etc/bashrc is not executed (for reasons I
cannot determine), so how do I set up global aliases (I want a d = "ls -al"
and ed = "pico -w").

I read Red Hat Unleased and Unix Companion books, but am finding that Cobalt's
setup often is not consistent with those texts. I guess Qube2 users are not
suppose to be making changes - one should not tinker with a toaster.

Thanks.
