Default setup, personal start-up files

Departments of Mathematics & Statistics, University of South Carolina


All accounts are created with the following default start-up files: .cshrc .login
If you regard yourself an expert in UNIX, you are welcome to edit these files, otherwise please don't modify them. Doing it so may cause unexpected results.

Also for experts: The default X Window System start-up files are called /usr/lib/X11/system.xsession and /usr/lib/X11/twm/system.twmrc .
If you want to modify these, copy the files in your home directory, name them as .xsession , .twmrc respectively, give them execute permission, and edit them as you please.

A piece of advice:
Before you do any editing of your setup files save them under another name. Then if things don't work as you expected, you can simply (?!?) replace the new files with their old working version.
