Patch for problem
csh.login should already read profile.d for login shells; are you invoking (t)csh with tcsh -l? No, I used gdm (or xdm) to login and my user shell ist "tcsh". Therefore the xterms are no login shell.... I'm not sure, =when= to execute the things in /etc/profile.d/*.csh in such a case (because there is =no= login shell), but they =should= be executed at least once. To ensure, that all X clients have the same environment, the /etc/profile.d/ should be invoked from xdm (ot it's scripts..)? BUT some things defined in /etc/profile.d/*.csh (e.g. DIRCOLORs) must be read by =each= shell and should be executed in /etc/csh.cshrc. BUT some others should only be executed once at login time.... To make this you probably have to change semantics of /etc/profile.d/. Maybe something like: foo-bar.csh (deprecated: executed by login and "normal" shells) foo-bar.csh-login (executed only by login shells) foo-bar.csh-cshrc (executed by every shell) This is fixed in the latest setup package in rawhide. |
Tcsh does not execute the files stored in /etc/profile.d/*.csh as bash does. Enclosed you find a patch based upon setup-2.1.8-1 of RHAT 6.2. This patch does: * execute /etc/profile.d/*csh * filename completion for "cd" and "rmdir" completes only directories (not files) diff -r -u setup-2.1.8/csh.cshrc setup-2.1.8-till/csh.cshrc --- setup-2.1.8/csh.cshrc Thu Jan 13 00:18:52 2000 +++ setup-2.1.8-till/csh.cshrc Mon May 1 08:34:55 2000 @@ -5,7 +5,17 @@ if ($?prompt) then if ($?tcsh) then set prompt='[%n@%m %c]$ ' + complete cd 'n/*/d/' # complete only dirs on "cd" + complete rmdir 'n/*/d/' # ... and rmdir else set prompt=\[`id -nu`@`hostname -s`\]\$\ endif + + if ( $shlvl != "1" ) then # We're not a login shell + foreach i (/etc/profile.d/*.csh) + if ( -x $i ) then + source $i + endif + end + endif endif
