There is an option in the man page to avoid reading ~/.cshrc, I'm not sure if it deals with .login or not, you should test it. > Let's discard the trivial answer to install another login shell. csh is actually a very poor choice for an interactive shell. I'm not sure why you are trying to avoid reading ~/.login, however I can't imagine a scenario where a user couldn't simply read it in after they are logged in.
