I took a closer look.  I have /bin/csh in /etc/passwd but my .vueprofile
is
#! /bin/sh
exec rc -l $HOME/.xsession-vue

One problem with that approach is that you still end up running vuelogin,
which sits around consuming a few Mbs of your swap area.  You are best
off turning it off and just using normal xdm.  With this approach, I
deleted my .vueprofile, which is the best solution!

I just gave that a try, however, it still wouldn't let me log in through 
vuelogin.  However, this time it at least gets to the copyright screen, 
then it goes blank and kicks me back out to vuelogin.

Just to make sure, I placed "echo start >> /tmp/rc.test" at the beginning
of my .rcrc, and "echo done >> /tmp/rc.test" at the end of it.  My .rcrc 
is getting succesfully run, but somewhere after that, things are choking 
up.  I have also made sure that I set SHELL=/bin/RC (I have a hard link 
between RC and rc), so that sh won't think that it is being called from a 
restricted shell.

Any *more* suggestions? (*sigh* -- I miss rc)

Thanks,

Yeah, I already got feedback about the 'r' from somewhat else.  Changing
the name of rc fixes the problem with 'man', but I still can't log into
VUE.  It just sits there for about 10 seconds with a blank screen and
kicks me back into the login. 

Any other suggestions?
