basic question

I have some basic doubts. Can someone clarify in this forum?
1)if [ "$TERM" = "" ]
then
eval ' tset -s -Q -m ':?hp' '
else
eval ' tset -s -Q '


what does it exactly mean in .profile?
2) what are 'nobody' and 'noaccess' usernames in /etc/passwd file.

3)I am working on a solaris system where there is no specific entry for my username. Then how do the system manage individual login ids?

4) Out of .login , .profile, .cshrc (c shell), .kshrc (k shell) which one gets invoked first after login?

I would be very grateful if someone spends some time in giving me answers to these queries.
Thanks and best regards
Asutosh
