	Also try:

$HOME/.login
$HOME/.profile
$HOME/.cshrc
$HOME/.tcshrc
$HOME/.cshdirs
$HOME/.bash_login
$HOME/.inputrc
/etc/login.defs
/etc/csh.login
/etc/csh.cshrc
/etc/suid_profile


	The above (plus the ones you listed) should
	apply to sh/bash, csh/tcsh, and ksh.  If you're
	using ash, zsh, or another shell, you'll want
	to check the man page for that shell to see
	what init files it reads at runtime.  This is
	usually toward the end of the man page under
	a heading labeled "FILES"  Hope that helps!
