Depends on exactly which OS you're using I think. I know in Solaris for ksh there's your own ksrhc file but also a system profile that everybody gets. There is probably a system-wide one on your server as well giving you those extra aliases which are not in your personal bashrc. However, I can't tell you exactly where that is from the info you've given.

Usually something like that would be stored in /etc somewhere. Try looking around in /etc and some of its subdirectories. Maybe run a grep alias * in /etc and see what files it finds.
