Hi Conan -
Not seeing the default prompt is usually a sign of having modified
your dotfiles in some way. Have you changed your .cshrc file at all?
Modifications should usually go in .cshrc.mine instead of .cshrc.
One thing you could try is restoring the default dotfiles -
<http://kb.mit.edu/confluence/x/9Z47> has some documentation on how to
do that. You should probably try restoring at least .cshrc and .login
Problems with the logout command could potentially be related to more
general problems with your dotfiles.
