.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

git-peek-remote

GIT-PEEK-REMOTE(1)						    Git Manual							GIT-PEEK-REMOTE(1)

NAME

       git-peek-remote - List the references in a remote repository

SYNOPSIS

       git peek-remote [--upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>] [<host>:]<directory>

DESCRIPTION

       This command is deprecated; use git ls-remote instead.

OPTIONS

       --upload-pack=<git-upload-pack>
	   Use this to specify the path to git-upload-pack on the remote side, if it is not found on your $PATH. Some installations of sshd
	   ignores the user's environment setup scripts for login shells (e.g. .bash_profile) and your privately installed git may not be found on
	   the system default $PATH. Another workaround suggested is to set up your $PATH in ".bashrc", but this flag is for people who do not
	   want to pay the overhead for non-interactive shells, but prefer having a lean .bashrc file (they set most of the things up in
	   .bash_profile).

       <host>
	   A remote host that houses the repository. When this part is specified, git-upload-pack is invoked via ssh.

       <directory>
	   The repository to sync from.
