Where do I modify the environments of the alternate shells (Bash, C shell, Korn shell) in SOL 9? In other words, where are the config files that setup the environments for alternate shells located? It would be nice to set some environment variables, such as PS1, at the time the parent BASH shell process is being loaded as a process under the default Bourne shell.

As you describe man pages as working, I would suggest

$ man bash

or ksh, csh etc where all the facilities for each shell is described in
detail, including how each can be configured using dot files in the users
home directory.


Thanks, Geoff! My thinking was /etc/sysconfig and /etc/profile rather than /home/username/.profile and /home/username/.rcbash. Thanks for pointing that out to me.

If anyone's interested, I found:
