It's not necessary, unless you might also run other Bourne shells.
If you are, then it makes sense to use .profile instead of
..bash_profile (just don't use any bash extensions there).
BTW, if you are appearing as Administrator, and you're actually logging
into a domain, it probably means you need to run mkpasswd -d and add
the output to /etc/passwd (mkpasswd -d >> /etc/passwd).
