Script has sh code where csh code should be in two places The lines are: kdepath="${KDEDIR}/bin" if ( echo ${PATH} | grep -q ${kdepath} ) then They should read: set kdepath="${KDEDIR}/bin" if ( `echo ${PATH} | grep -q ${kdepath}` ) then The problem is that csh doesn't take the "variable=value" that sh does, and if you leave out the grave accents, csh, or more precisely tcsh, interprets the | as an arithmetical operator and fails. With both these changes, the script seems to function correctly. Without it, it causes and error and stops login script processing, but not login itself.
