Geoff,
All I can help with is a suggestion for item 1.
[ 1. Modify CSH so that it checks for the existence of a system wide
[ .cshrc and .login (obviously they could have different names) before
[ reading the users .cshrc and .login. This would allow the system
[ manager (me) to create a standard environment without having to write
[ each user a .login and .cshrc and still allow the user to modify his
[ or her environment if they choose.
What I am now doing is to have each users rc file, first execute a system
wide rc file. This lets me do as you mention, which is to create as standard
environment, while still allowing users to change their environment if they
so choose. I am doing this with the Bourne shell. Do to lack of working
knowledge on C shell, I can't say for sure if this will work for it.
