- Well, it doesn't under SunOS releases prior to 5.x; it does have one in
- 5.x, though - "/etc/.login"; I think this may actually be a generic SVR4
- feature, not something Sun added.
-
- The man page says it's executed only if you *don't* have a ".login" in
- your directory, presumably on the theory that you could source it from
- your ".login"; it says so in the BUGS section, for reasons unknown to me
- (is the bug that it *has* such a file, or that it only sources it if you
- don't have a ".login" of your own?).

-
- Yes.
