Hi, I tried to use /etc/cshrc or /etc/default/.cshrc with ISC 386/ix ver.2.02 to execute some commands automatically for each user who logs in. According to the manual (User's/Administrator's Ref. Manual CSH (1)) these files should be executed automatically (whatever this means), look at FILES and NOTES on the man page. Neither of this files seems to do anything. Any ideas? Thanks Fritz

I also think it would be really swell if there were something like the /etc/cshrc found in larger systems. Unfortunately, `strings /bin/csh` applied to the 2.0.2 csh is discouraging. The obvious work around, including "source /etc/cshrc" in all private .cshrc's is a pain. Vernon Schryver vjs@calcite.uucp

Manual CSH (1)) This issue has caused confusion because there is both the csh(1) manual page in the above mentioned AT&T doc, and a csh(1) man page in the Interactive Systems "C Shell Guide". When there exist varying descriptions of commands, system calls, etc. between Interactive and other documentation, the Interactive documentation will take precedence. In this case, the Interactive man page does not refer to a global configuration (cshrc) file implementation, only /$HOME/.cshrc, a per user configuration file.
