I agree.  Of course you don't have to slash your wrists if your
vendor did not build global init file support into your c-shell.

I just create global files /etc/csh.{login,cshrc} and source
these in the default .login,.cshrc files that users are provided
with.

Eg.
# .cshrc 1.1
# pick up the standard environment
source /etc/csh.cshrc
# place personal commands here

Of course this approach does not _force_ the use of
/etc/csh.cshrc since users can always remove the source line.
In practice however they do not - after all, I only put useful
things in the global files anyway :-)
