What were you trying to do?
Use /afs/sipb/project/tcsh/tcsh as my login shell.
What's wrong:
/usr/athena/lib/init/cshrc references $hosttype before looking
in .environment. I have a fix in .environment to set
$hosttype if it isn't already set, but by then it's already
too late.
What should have happened:
Something like "if (! $?hosttype) setenv hosttype `machtype`"
in /usr/athena/lib/init/cshrc. We should not restrict people
to use versions of csh that we provide, and this fix will
solve that.
