When logging in as a user with bash as their shell the .bash_profile should be read to set up the environment. This does not seem to be happening. The login command starts bash as "-bash" with the "-" sign indicating it is a login shell. Starting bash with the -l option instead does seem to work, but this is not how login starts it. This worked in previous versions of WRL (at least in WRL4, not tested WRL5).
$ configure --enable-board=intel-x86-64 --enable-rootfs=glibc_std --enable-kernel=standard $ make start-target Log in as root. By default there is no .bash_profile so create one as follows: # echo "export TEST=abcd" > .bash_profile Log out and back again. The variable TEST should now exist, but it does not: # env | grep TEST # Starting bash with the "-l" option does work however: # bash -l # env | grep TEST TEST=abcd # So it seems limited to the case where bash is started as "-bash" as in the case where login starts it. Note however that the problem was initially seen using the runuser command, so this may be another way to demonstrate the issue.
