Not to create another argument but tcsh does not appear to be csh :-(
With -current as of the weekend. I now have tcsh as the root shell.
I noticed something "strange", my history only displays the time, for example
dual# history
1 13:42
2 13:42
3 13:42
4 13:42
5 13:42
6 13:43
7 13:43
8 13:43
9 13:43
10 13:43
11 15:35
12 15:35
13 15:36
14 15:37
15 15:37
16 15:39
17 15:39
18 15:39
... etc ...
However, history does work with ! for example on the same machine right
after the above history command:
dual# !ech
echo $SHELL
/bin/csh
dual#
After I did a "make world" I also did a "make distribution" in /usr/src/etc
to make sure I had default files.
Here is the results of env:
dual# env

This is from the root login.
Please help ... I have trouble remembering what I type and the way I use
history is to cut'n'paste via X. It's works and I don't have to
remember various things that change when I'm forced to change shell so
please no philosophy lessons.
