Directory. :-)

But that suggests you aren't using bash, but csh? From "man csh",
section FILES:

       ~/.login        Read  by  login  shells  after ~/.tcshrc or ~/.history.
                       The shell may  be  compiled  to  read  ~/.login  before
                       instead of after ~/.tcshrc and ~/.history; see the ver-
                       sion shell variable.

Note that .login is in csh syntax, not (ba)sh syntax. In case
you want to use sh syntax for a login-time startup script, just
call it from ~/.login via something like "/bin/sh ~/.sh.login"
or  "/usr/local/bin/bash ~/.bash.login" (if you require bash-isms
which sh does not support).
