mcc-interim and shadow /bin/login ignore .cshrc with tcsh

Post by Cornell Kinderknec » Sat, 25 Apr 1992 08:28:47



Both the /bin/login with the mcc-interim 0.95c+ release and the one that
come with the shadow-bin.tar.Z on tsx-11 ignore the ~/.cshrc file
when logging in with tcsh.  Any ideas why or a fix?

There is certainly a bug in the version of login which I supplied with
the mcc 'interim' release 0.95c+.  The login.c is from poe-igl-1.2,
but the bug is from me, and arose when I altered the login to work
with gcc 2.1.  I don't know anything about the shadow-bin login.
I do know that my fix solves a problem that bash has funny environmental
variables '"^%%^&%%^&', as it were, and that 'TERM' is not getting
set properly, both of which were kindly reported by people using
my version of login.  I shall possibly fix the bug in the 0.95c+
release, and certainly in the 0.96 release, which I hope will appear
before long.  I am trying to check whether my fix solves the tcsh
problem.

1. MCC-interim release problem with login

I installed the MCC-interim .95c+ release, and
applied the listed bug fixes (/dev/tty ...), and ran
into numerous problems that were all fixed by replacing
/bin/login with a previous (.95a static) version.

The symptoms included a mangled bash environment, stty
reporting 0 rows and 0 columns, and vi defaulting to 25x80
(instead of the available 44x132).  Replacing /bin/login
fixed all of these problems.  Both the new and old bash
had the same problems with the new login, and worked fine
after login was replaced.

Did anyone else have these problems, or should I re-ftp
and try again?

thanks,
