The three initialization files in the /etc/skel
directory are:
- local.login
, used at every login
- local.cshrc
, for users with a C shell
- local.profile
, for a Bourne or Korn shell
When these files are copied to home directories, each is renamed:
- local.login
to .login
- local.cshrc
to .cshrc
- local.profile
to .profile
