with the SLS there comes am /etc/profile.
This is the common data-base file for all users.
The .profile is only used when Your shell is /bin/sh.
If Your shell is /bin/bash You have to create a .bashrc in Your homedirectory.
Here's mine:
========begin ~/.bashrc =========
.profile
========end ~/.bashrc ===========
If You want a shell like Suns csh You should get the tcsh-package.
it's on tsx-11 under: /pub/linux/binaries/usr.bin/tcsh-6.04.tar.gz
