That was my guess.  Something to do with single-user mode.

[root@copper:/etc]> ls -lAF /.cshrc
-rw-r--r--  2 root  wheel  801 Mar 16 11:31 /.cshrc
[root@copper:/etc]> ls -lAF /root/.cshrc
-rw-r--r--  2 root  wheel  801 Mar 16 11:31 /root/.cshrc

Is one a symlink to the other?  From my amateur eyes, I'd say no.  Does the 
one in /root get sync'd with the one in / somehow?

These are the questions that plague my mind.
