[Bug 1000021] [NEW] for bash history I don't have permissions

[prasad]

Public bug reported:

I just typed sudo bash exited after some installation of JVM.
Then onwards I am seeing a wierd problem 
1. My bash history is limited to current session
2. .bash_history - only root is having rw permissions. Which makes .bash_history not accessible.
