aliases from .bashrc do not seem to load.

[ghostish]

When ssh-ing to the pineapple the alias definitions in .bash do not seem to load any pointers?

What I've tried:

Creating a .bash_aliases file rather than just chucking them all in .bashrc

Result: no change

Creating aliases directly on a per login basis

Result: works, but tedious

Doing the morally required pre-post googleing and searching through previous posts

Result: tried many but, running into mental 404's as far as search terms go.

Any help is greatly appreciated, I'm just drawing a blank.

Current .bashrc contents:

# If not running interactively, don't do anything

case $- in

*i*) ;;

*) return;;

esac

#check if .bash_aliases exists and execute

if [ -f ~/.bash_aliases ]; then

. ~/.bash_aliases

fi

#aliases for ease of use.

#ls aliases

alias ll='ls -alF'

alias la='ls -A'

alias l='ls -CF'

alias ld='ls -d'

#misc helpers

alias del='shred -f -n 5 -u -v -z'

alias md='mkdir'

alias c='clear'

alias cls='clear & ls'

alias clip='xsel'

alias iv='vi'

alias up='ping -c 1 google.com'

alias nkey='ssh-keygen -b 4096 -t rsa'

The default shell is ash, rather than bash. Not sure if ash uses .bashrc or has an equivalent...

What about editing /etc/profile (nb, will modify all logins)?

Googling suggests .ashrc rather than .bashrc. Hope this helps.
