[techtalk] Telnet, solaris and .profile

Hi!

My home directory at work is mounted via NFS on my Linux box. It's got a
.profile and a .bash_profile file. When I login from Linux, it reads my
.bash_profile file. When I telnet into the Solaris 5.6 box that hosts my home
directory, my .profile file is not read (and I don't want it to read my
.bash_profile - they're different files for a reason). It's annoying me that I
always have to . .profile after logging in. Is there any way I can automate
this?

Thanx for any answer

Britta
