DID YOU BSD PEOPLE HERE THAT ???

What Christoph is trying to say is that we want an /etc/rshrc and $HOME/.rshrc
which is run every time we grab a remote shell so that we can set up our 
environment exactly as we want it.  On our Xenix boxes with Excelan the 
remote shell has $SHELL set up from passwd so the fix is to use csh and 
set up the environment in $HOME/.cshrc (I think that is the right file,
I would rather suffer the inconvenience of setting up my environment each 
time than have to use csh)
