It is a nonstandard extension to csh, so every company seems to have its own
name for the system-wide csh startup file if they have added it. I have
seen, in addition to /etc/.login, the following:
/etc/cshprofile (Plexus)
/etc/cshrc (Xenix)
There may well be others. Try a "strings /bin/csh" (or wherever csh lives
on your system).
