Good morning,
I have installed some software (IDL 5.0) on an Alpha running DUnix 4.0.
The software required modifying the .cshrc files of the users who were
going to be using the software.
The users did not have .cshrc files in their home directories. I copied
the .cshrc file from the / directory (the /usr/skel/.cshrc file did not
have anything in it other than a set mail variable) to the users' home
directories and modified them per the needs of the IDL software. Now
one of the users cannot run some scripts he had been running. If I
remove the .cshrc file from his home directory, he's fine.
I have two guesses. First of all, his pathings might have changed by
the new .cshrc file so the scripts are no longer in his path. Secondly,
the scripts might rely on environment variables that were reset when I
copied over the .cshrc file.
Does anyone have any ideas what might be going on? If I inadvertantly
changed his pathings, where were they coming from in the first place
since he didn't have .login or .cshrc files in his home directory?
Similarly, if I reset some environment variables, where might they have
been set initially?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much,
