[ ATTN : bash mantainer ] Request to enable sys-wide conffiles

[David Sastre]

Hello,

Regarding the ITA of base-files, I'm trying to define a consistent,
system-wide configuration that doesn't need to rely in user-defined files, 
as it's currently made, and at the same time, avoid as much as possible to 
source some conf files from others.

I think that this could be achieved easier if /etc/bash.bashrc were enabled 
at compile-time. A trivial patch to do that is attached. It would enable both 
SYS_BASHRC and SYS_BASH_LOGOUT. 
I'd appreciate if this changes were kindly taken into consideration.

Also, I've seen that SSH_SOURCE_BASH is defined in
bash-3.2.51-24.src.patch, but access through ssh with a bash shell
as login shell doesn't seem to source ~/.bashrc. 

One related question: if SYS_BASHRC were enabled, would SSH_SOURCE_BASHRC try 
to source /etc/bash.bashrc or ~/.bashrc? The coment in config-top.h only
mentions the latter. (This is just curiosity)

Thanks and regards.
