Looking again at your first post, you tested that renaming .cshrc had the expected effect while logging in. Which proves nothing at all with respect to the third party script. Why not rename your .cshrc, then try that third party script? It may not be running your .cshrc at all. Maybe your bin directory is already in your PATH. If so, refraining from running your .cshrc again will avoid putting a second copy of your bin directory in your PATH. But that will not magicly remove a copy already there. This is why Bill Joy split out .login from .cshrc. You should not fiddle with your environment every time you run a script.

updatehome(1M)						  System Administration Commands					    updatehome(1M)

NAME
updatehome - update the home directory copy and link files for the current label SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/updatehome [-cirs] DESCRIPTION
updatehome reads the user's minimum-label copy and link-control files (.copy_files and .link_files). These files contain a list of files to be copied and symbolically linked from the user's minimum-label home directory to the user's home directory at the current label. The Solaris Trusted Extensions dtsession program performs an updatehome whenever a newly labeled workspace is created so that the user's favorite files are available for use. For example, the user probably wants a symbolic link to such files as .profile, .login, .cshrc, .exrc, .mailrc, and ~/bin. The updatehome command provides a convenient mechanism for accomplishing this symlink. The user can add files to those to be copied (.copy_files) and to those to be symbolically linked (.link_files). OPTIONS
-c Replace existing home-directory copies at the current label. The default is to skip over existing copies. -i Ignore errors encountered. The default aborts on error. -r Replace existing home-directory copies or symbolic links at the current label. This option implies options -c and -s. The default is to skip over existing copies or symbolic links. -s Replace existing home-directory symbolic links at the current label. The default is to skip over existing symbolic links. EXIT STATUS
Upon success, updatehome returns 0. Upon failure, updatehome returns 1 and writes diagnostic messages to standard error. EXAMPLES
Example 1 A Sample .copy_files File The files that are listed in .copy_files can be modified at every user's label. .cshrc .mailrc .mozilla/bookmarks.html Example 2 A Sample .link_files File The files that are listed in .link_files can be modified at the lowest label. The changes propagate to the other labels that are available to the user. ~/bin .mozilla/preferences .xrc .rhosts Example 3 Updating the Linked and Copied Files The .copy_files and .link_files were updated by the user at the minimum label. At a higher label, the user refreshes the copies and the links. No privileges are required to run the command. % updatehome -r FILES
