.bash_profile versus .profile of user in Solaris 10

Hi All

I am kind of confused, when to use
Code:
.bash_profile

or
Code:
.profile

I have just created a user on a test server, with:
Code:
useradd -u 103 -d /fretagi -m -s /bin/bash fretagi

but now in its home dir I have:
Code:
-bash-3.2$ ls -al
total 14
drwxr-xr-x   2 fretagi  other        512 Dec  5 15:54 .
drwxr-xr-x  52 root     root        1536 Dec  5 15:54 ..
-rw-r--r--   1 fretagi  other        144 Dec  5 15:54 .profile
-rw-r--r--   1 fretagi  other        136 Dec  5 15:54 local.cshrc
-rw-r--r--   1 fretagi  other        157 Dec  5 15:54 local.login
-rw-r--r--   1 fretagi  other        174 Dec  5 15:54 local.profile

So when I created the user it was meant to use bash shell, soI beleive I should have a
Code:
.bash_profile

on it, but I dont?? Instead I have
Code:
.profile

So where is not right?

Pls help
