From: John Hawkinson <jhawk@MIT.EDU>

System name:		cutter-john.mit.edu
Type and version:	i686 9.0.10
Display type:		XFree86 3.3.6a SVGA

Shell:			/bin/sh (/bin/athena/tcsh?)
Window manager:		unknown

What were you trying to do?
	use ls

What's wrong:
	It is in COLOR! NO NO NO NO NO NO MY GHOD THIS IS @#%!$#%#$@%
	UNACCEPTABLE.

Specifically, /bin/athena/tcsh is built to source /etc/csh.cshrc,
which sources /etc/profile.d/*.csh, including /etc/profile.d/colorls.csh.

What should have happened:
	tcsh should not be doing random initialization stuff on Athena
	machines that's not from /usr/athena/lib/init.

	I think that /etc/csh.cshrc should be zapped.

	I presume it's not worth the bother for me to submit this patch
	and Greg can just do it.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	Angie reported this previously, I am told.
