Ash honours this. and a strace confirms that it now reads /home/root/.bashrc

Setting ENV in a .bashrc has it's drawbacks as it will be processed twice.

So - more sensibly - we should probably just set the ENV value at boot to another filename and populate that with the current current .bashrc noise.

Anyways - that is by the by and will be decided in the wash.

Here are some tests.

Re this: su -c 'su -v' -l will only work if the ENV AND the .basrc are processed... I.E same data twice.

So to this end I recommend doing that until a better option comes along.

vi !:command also honours this so, yeah.

Word to the wise and all that.
