Will not work:

$ man bash
...
       When  an  interactive  shell  that is not a login shell is
       started, bash reads and executes commands from  ~/.bashrc,
       if  that  file exists. ...

Besides, not everyone has bash as their login shell.

Reading man sshd:

     $HOME/.ssh/rc
             If this file exists, it is run with /bin/sh after reading the
             environment files but before starting the user's shell or com
             mand.  It must not produce any output on stdout; stderr must be
             used instead.  If X11 forwarding is in use, it will receive the
             "proto cookie" pair in its standard input (and DISPLAY in its
             environment).  The script must call xauth(1) because sshd will
             not run xauth automatically to add X11 cookies.
and

     /etc/ssh/sshrc
             Like $HOME/.ssh/rc.  This can be used to specify machine-specific
             login-time initializations globally.  This file should be
             writable only by root, and should be world-readable.

This guaranteed to work (at least for ssh).
