Bash Tip - Why .bashrc (dot bashrc) not loaded after new user created?

Recently, I reinstalled ubuntu 16.04LTS on my desktop as a Linux server.

After a new user created, ssh into the server each time, but .bashrc (dot bashrc) not loaded after new user created? Please try to modify the profile as bellow.

Append some commands into ~/.profile

	DOT_BASHRC=~/.bashrc
	# -n True if the length of string is non-zero.
	# -r True if file exists and is readable.
	if [ -n "$BASH" ] && [ -r "$DOT_BASHRC" ]; then
	echo "load $DOT_BASHRC by ~/.profile"
	source "$DOT_BASHRC"
	fi

~$ source .profile
load /home/ben/.bashrc by ~/.profile
.bashrc has been executed once
