Excellent, Chris.  Jeesh, I 'd forgotten this (wrote it six months ago --
no research, just three minutes typing out what was in my head).  I'd
forgotten .bash_login, since I haven't used .xx_login since my Ultrix
days.  You sure the login shell doesn't check both .profile and
.bash_profile if they're both there?

Other than that, the above qualifiers look good.

Ciao,
