/etc: Included files
The following are updated in the /etc folder.
BASH default profile (profile)
This is the Debian Stretch default profile and is copied to /etc/profile to return accounts to a baseline configuration. Again, this is done to ensure that only /etc/bash.bashrc is providing initial customization to users.
Default BASH settings (bash.bashrc)
Of the bash customization files, this is the only one that is NOT in a default configuration. I have added the following which I find useful especially for new users and system admins:
- colourized directory listings with built-in automatic colour settings
- changed prompt to include 24-hour clock, username, hostname and current
directory display
- username changes to RED when working as ROOT (uid=0)
- added the following command aliases
alias full command explanation ll ls -l default 'ls' output l ls -lAsh --group-directories-first far more useful and robust file display including sizes, permissions and owners rm rm -i confirmation prompt when deleting file mv mv -i confirmation prompt when moving file would result in overwriting existing file cp cp -i confirmation prompt when copying file would result in overwriting existing file
nano defaults (nanorc)
The following options have been enabled/set in nano to provide what I feel is an easier editing experience especially for people coming from a Windows background and new users/admins.
- 'rebind' numeric keypad to fix problems using keypad with some SSH clients
- set 'smart home' so home key is useful
- allow opening multiple files at once
- always display line numbers
- constantly display cursor position at the bottom of the screen
- set vim lock-files
- auto-indent ON
- tab-size of 4 spaces
- convert tabs to spaces
- turn off hard line wrapping
- turn ON soft line wrapping for ease of readability
- closing 'brackets' (for alignment purposes) set as: "')>]}
- cut to end of line by default
- set proper bracket matching (ie. "<" matches ">", etc.)
- turned on default colours so nano doesn't look so drab
- added the following key-bindings
| binding | function |
|---|---|
| ctrl-s/ctrl-S | save current file |
| alt-c/alt-C | copy selected text |
| alt-x/alt-X | cut selected text |
| alt-v/alt-V | paste text on clipboard |
