the original question was :
I've a problem with csh in SunOS 4.1. I want to set some variables such
as path and MANPATH and do some checkings. In Solaris 2.x csh first reads
/etc/.login but it seems that there is not similar thing in SunOS 4.1.
Is there other way to do that, or is there any newer version of csh
that I can use with SunOS 4.1?
It seems that there is no exact soloution in csh and SunOS 4.1. the
suggestions are :
1 - using a shell script as a login shell that acts as the system startup file
and then executes user's .cshrc and .login.
2 - adding a line in start of any users .cshrc or .login :
"source <global startup file". it seems good, but users MUST not
erase or change this line!
3 - others point me to tcsh.
