QUESTION:                                                                       
My customer is system manager for his RISC/6000. He routinely creates           
users, which are are /bin/csh users.  He would like to know where the           
system gets the '.login' file which it puts into the new user's home            
directory.  Where is it coming from?                                            
                                                                                
---------- ---------- ---------- --------- ---------- ----------                
A:     The default .login file (for csh user) is created by the                 
/etc/security/mkuser.sys script.   If the user uses ksh the                     
/etc/security/.profile file is copied to the home directory of the              
user.
