Though it's not relevant to the original thread, the following excerpt from my ~/.cshrc may be of interest to those with the above perception: set tcsh = `which tcsh` if ( $?HOSTTYPE && ${?tcsh} && "${tcsh}" == "$SHELL" ) then else if ( $?prompt && { test -x ${tcsh} } ) then setenv SHELL "$tcsh" exec tcsh endif endif Naturally, this is done after the $path is set. And /bin/csh is my defined "login shell" -- but given what I do for a living, sometimes the machine in question can't get to /usr/local/bin (which is made visible via NFS & amd). Need to be a little careful, since the "`which tcsh`" invokes csh all over again.... :-} david -- David Wolfskill UNIX System Administrator dhw@whistle.com voice: (650) 577-7158 pager: (650) 371-4621 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
