If memory serves, the eos machines default to tcsh, instead of bash. Could this be your problem?

Hey all,
I'm trying to set up some .bashrc aliases on my eos directory. Is this possible? I can obviously create the file in my home directory and put bunches of lovely stuffs in there, but I can't get the aliases to 'activate'. Any help would be appreciated. I can alias one line at a time, but I think they go away when I log out.

eos machines use tcsh as the default shell and not bash. So if you need to set up aliases, you have to put them in .mycshrc in home dorectory.
