 A login shell first reads commands from the files '/etc/profile' and '.profile' if they exist. If ENV is set on entry to a shell, or is set in the .profile of a login shell, the shell next reads commands from the file named in ENV. (Cf. [[http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl1_ash.htm|source]].) ENV is indeed set to '~/.ashrc' in '~/.profile' (see below). A login shell first reads commands from the files '/etc/profile' and '.profile' if they exist.
