#/usr/bin/csh -f not working as expected?

Hey everyone,

A coworker of mine has written a csh script that starts with #!/usr/bin/csh -f. It's my understanding that the -f should skip the .cshrc and .login files, but here's the problem: In the script "line" is used, and I happen to have a "line" in my ~/bin. When the script is ran my ~/bin is still in the path and the script does not work.

Why is ~/bin in my path if csh was instructed not to load the .cshrc and .login files?

I ran a test by renmaing my ".cshrc" file and logging in. When doing so echo $PATH only gave me "/usr/bin:", so it seems the .cshrc is being used.

Thanks for your help.

P.S. I am on Solaris 5.8.
