Yeah that's what causing it. .cshrc is run for every shell, interactive or not. And rcp need to launch a shell. Setting a prompt in a non-interactive shell does not make sense. And referencing LOGNAME isn't going to fly since login was not run. Setting up a non-existent controlling terminal isn't going to help either.

Wiping up that mess will take a csh expert and I'm not one. My suggestion is to switch to ksh. In the meantime, you won't be able to use rcp with that disfunctional account. Switch to ftp or something.

You have solved my problem! In that cshrc file, it was trying to use $LOGNAME. The problem being that LOGNAME hadn't been declared a variable.

Many thanks for all your help - you have kept me in a job!!
