I can't remember what I had a problem with but I do remember I had to change the paths from /usr/local/bin/tcsh to /bin/tcsh in /etc/passwd. I think what I did to cause the problem is when I ran mergmaster I replaced /etc/shells which did not have the path /usr/local/bin/tcsh which was used in /etc/passwd.
