:) (such scripts should never ever ever be written in csh,

:) I suppose this may mean the workstation is hacked, but I dunno.
Hacked. The quickstation changes are not in login. In fact, a
quickstation "looks" like any other sun workstation, it does not have
unique software.
The workstation should be reinstalled, just like any other workstation
where you find that someone has been messing with the login.
It might be worthwhile to run last and see whether that indicates
what happened.
Thanks
Mike
