For some reason my personal ~/.cshrc is not read/used. Apparently the one that's being used is /etc/csh.cshrc. Strangely /etc/csh.cshrc is an empty file: # $FreeBSD: src/etc/csh.cshrc,v 1.3 1999/08/27 23:23:40 peter Exp $ # # System-wide .cshrc file for csh(1). However if I add something like echo "this is /etc/csh.cshrc" I can see that this is the file being read/used in my xterm. Anyone know how can i get my ~/.cshrc to be read? Is it something wrong with my setup that I need to change or can I safely add a 'source ~/.cshrc' line to /etc/csh.cshrc?
