OK, I haven’t tested for that loadup yet, and the .bashrc is indeed there. I thought .bashrc was loaded first, then .bash_profile. This is for normal user. Just tested it again, and /root/.bash_profile is not loading. Tried this in /root/.bashrc: source /root/.bash_profile That created a loop, because that reverse instruction is inside /root/.bash_profile So for some reason, entering su isn’t loading its own .bash_profile nor keeping my user’s .bash_profile (expected).
