Basically, your /etc/profile has some default settings for the following shells; bash, ksh*, and sh. You appear to be running one it doesn't have any defaults for. It's just informing you. No harm. If you don't want the message, just edit your /etc/profile > Not sure what it's asking. Why can't I just > create a .cshrc file or .login with my own defaults? Of course you can. It never said you couldn't did it? :) All it's asking is that, if you have any settings for the shell you are using (what is it btw?) you'd like to share, please tell us.
