Q: 

HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth not working debian lenny

Can anybody confirm if by setting the the following env variables under debian lenny will make previous history entries not to be saved. GNU bash, version 3.2.39(1)-release

export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth
export HISTSIZE=500

I have added them to my /etc/bash.bashrc but I keep getting repeated commands.

Thanks
