I suspect you didn't create them, at least not directly or manually; my system still has them at the moment, and they appear to be the same from /root/ : $ uname -mrv 13.2-STABLE FreeBSD 13.2-STABLE stable/13-n255938-fec383bb5385 GENERIC amd64 $ ls -lai /.profile /root/.profile /.cshrc /root/.cshrc 5 -rw-r--r-- 2 root wheel 1023 May 12 2022 /.cshrc 7 -rw-r--r-- 2 root wheel 507 May 12 2022 /.profile 5 -rw-r--r-- 2 root wheel 1023 May 12 2022 /root/.cshrc 7 -rw-r--r-- 2 root wheel 507 May 12 2022 /root/.profile I think they were installed by FreeBSD rather than created. My other systems which have been periodically upgraded over time have the same situation. Cheers, sr.
