Here are another things I found: - setting mail is not defined (it's in default dot.csh) and it's nice thing, it tells that there is new mail in mailbox. set mail = (/var/mail/$USER) - variable MANPATH is defined, because of that users using this tcshrc cannot call man for i.e. installed ports: [freebsd]:/home/takeda> manpath (Warning: MANPATH environment variable set) /usr/share/man: [freebsd]:/home/takeda> unsetenv MANPATH [freebsd]:/home/takeda> manpath /usr/share/man:/usr/local/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/usr/share/perl/man:/usr/share/openssl/man Looks like MANPATH variable in FreeBSD is only for compatibility, and FreeBSD uses /etc/manpath.config I would recommend to change MANPATH to some other variable, and put in it the results of calling manpath command i.e. set manpath = `manpath` and do whatever it supposed to do, - last thing, this is apparently bug in tcshrc. When I was using chown command and trying to complete file name that had dot in it. After I put dot and pressed tap I saw user accounts instead a files... -- Best regards, Dariusz mailto:takeda@takeda.tk http://www.takeda.tk
