*cough* *cough*... some of us use csh or csh derivatives (tcsh)
ya know. :)  I use tcsh personally... I've been tempted to try
zsh for a while... I'll do it eventually...

No, you do not *need* one.  It's a feature for you to enable
something on your first login.  Mine is fairly blank:

        echo "Welcome `whoami` to machine `uname -n`."

That's it. :)  Everything I have is in my .cshrc/.tcshrc
file...
