On the /etc/profile method, sorry, forgot about not wanting to reboot
(although there may be a way w/o reboot). The other method .cshrc should
work on logout/login and there may be a way to do the /etc/profile method
without a reboot. The .cshrc is limited to each user's shell while the
/etc/profile is "global" to all of the shells except the root.  It's been a
long time since I set it up, I just know it works and I prefer it for my
needs.
