I'm not exactly arguing here, but on my OS X Server system,
.bash_profile must be in use, or I'd be having the same
problems.

How would sshd execute commands without a shell?

How can sshd launch a shell without the shell initializing?

ccm:~ tmornini$ sudo find / -name svn -ls
208574 0 drwxr-xr-x 14 svn staff 476 Nov 14 22:37
/Users/svn
209607 640 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 327460 Oct 22 21:17
/usr/local/bin/svn

ccm:~ tmornini$ cat /etc/bashrc | grep local
ccm:~ tmornini$ cat /etc/csh.cshrc | grep local
ccm:~ tmornini$ cat /etc/csh.login | grep local

ccm:~ tmornini$ cat .bash_profile | grep local
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/pgsql/bin:$PATH
