Question

I am realatively new to UNIX, and I need some help on an assignment. I am trying to find the file that will allow me to modify my login. I did some research, and most of my sources tell me to modify the ~/.cshrc and ~/.login files. The problem is that I cannot find any of those 2 files. I need to modify my login script in such ways that I can customize my prompt, launch my internet browser, etc. I am *not* asking you to do my assignment. I only need someone to tell me how to start and point me in the right direction, please.

Explanation / Answer

if you have to change the login information you can just type the passwd command on terminal. this will prompt your old password and then you can re-enter your new password. also if you want to change root password then type su and it will ask for root password. you can enter that and then again you can use passwd command to change it.

passwd <username> can also be given if you want to change particular user password. In linux you can find ~/.cshrc or ~/.bashrc. you can use these files to specify or set some default variables.
