I believe that .bash_login, .bash_profile or .profile is the file you're wanting to use in this instance. man bash { snip } When an interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads and executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists. This may be inhibited by using the --norc option. The --rcfile file option will force bash to read and execute commands from file instead of ~/.bashrc. { snip } If you're realling wanting .bashrc to be sourced on a login-shell, then you'll either need to set BASH_ENV=$HOME/.bashrc, or source it from your $HOME/.profile, or from /etc/profile.
