check and see if there's a /etc/cshrc or /etc/csh.cshrc

Those are the global configs for the csh shell

Technically on Solaris root uses /sbin/sh which doesn't read cshrc/login biggrin.gif

However fyire is right in general, it's just that I can't find a global cshrc file on Solaris 10, only /etc/profile....

Well, my guess is that he's likely to have changed the default shell of the root account.

that csh config files in /etc may not exist by default, so try creating it and see what happens.

Look in /etc/default/login and /etc/default/su

Both have the PATH variable for the root /sbin/sh shell when you're logging in or su to root.

The other option to change the SHELL in Solaris is using :

$ passwd -e username

It will trigger a prompt, telling you your current shell and asking you to type in the new path for a new shell ex: /bin/sh or /bin/csh
