Variables like HISTCONTROL, HISTIGNORE can play a part.  The setting
for 'shopt -s histappend' also matters.
The BASH man page briefly explains them.

/etc/profile only contains the, as far as I know, usual:

if [ "$HISTCONTROL" = "ignorespace" ] ; then
export HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth
else
export HISTCONTROL=ignoredups
