Now I'm confused. All the shells launched are logon shells as they are what 
occurs after I ssh into the box. According to the link above concerning 
/etc/profile:

<quote>

An interactive shell that is also a login shell (for example, from 
/usr/bin/login). Sources application settings in /etc/profile.d/*.sh, and 
/etc/bash.bashrc.

/etc/profile does indeed source /etc/bash.bashrc

# Source global bash config
if test "$PS1" && test "$BASH" && test -r /etc/bash.bashrc; then
         . /etc/bash.bashrc
fi

Now the test

test "$PS1" && test "$BASH"

is doing what? Limiting it to an interactive non-logon invocation?
