- make the default prompt a bit more like scp
- make the user show as root even when using 'su' instead of 'su -'
- the key bindings didn't hurt anything but likely hide a bug
- merge history instead of overwriting it

o Comment out display of fortune by default.
o Synch root's .cshrc/.login and non-root's .cshrc/.login in terms of
gratuitous variables set (EDITOR).
o Remove some commented out variables set inconsistently or gratuitously,
such as Interviews settings, 8-bit German locale for root only.
o Synchronize comments in header, as well as references to appropriate man
pages.
o Remove MANPATH setting as apparently /etc/manpath.config does all that
already.
Similar changes probably need to be made in other dot.* files for root
and skel, as all of these files seem to set different aliases, environmental
variables, prompts, and have different semantics.
As a result of this patch, leaving aside the setting of a special prompt
for root, users of csh and tcsh should find similar environments when
logging in or su'ing to any account using that shell.

even simple things like md5 and ping aren't in your path. This patch
moves the custom root-path setting from .login to .cshrc, so that users
who su to root get a decent (and consistent) path. An appeal to change
/etc/login.conf to provide a decent path for all users seems to have been
vetoed for the time being. As a result, users will still, by default,
not find ping or md5 in their path. However, at least root gets a decent
default now.

thing to use it at startup, when you don't know if the user can
handle vi or not, but yet another thing to leave it as a permanent
land mine for root.
2. Put /usr/X11R6/bin in path; it makes getting the desktop up a lot easier.
Finally transform the "Don't login as root..." message to make it
clear that `su' is meant to be a command. Will save us a lot of
questions about the user named `su'. Make the message magically
disappear if the user did an ``su - root'', since it might be a bit
silly to ask him to perform an `su'...
dot.cshrc:
Remove the no-op `-g' options from the ls aliases, and replace them by
`-o'. This way, if root does an `ls -l', he will see the immutable
flag and (hopefully) not be too surprised about the "Permission
denied".
