>Description:

When a non-root user has "/" as a home directory, the default .cshrc files
give the user a prompt with '#' in it.  This causes some confusion.  Users
who are not root should have '%' in place of '#'.  

>How-To-Repeat:

Have a user's home directory not available for some reason, and their shell
set to csh (or tcsh).  Log in.  The prompt will be "hostname# ", where
hostname is the short name of the host being logged into.

>Fix:

Here's a diff from the current root .cshrc:
