Subject: .bash_profile not being read during user login??


Hi all,

I posted a message about qtella earlier and I now found that the file 
.bash_profile is not being read during user login. Even if I change 
.bash_profile to just two lines: PATH=$PATH:/opt/lunar/kde/3/bin export PATH

after login my path is still:
/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11/bin

if I issue: PATH=$PATH:/opt/lunar/kde/3/bin

at the command line it changes the path to
/usr/local/sbin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/opt/lunar/kde/3/
bin
as it should.

Anyone know what's hapening or how to fix this?

Ralph
