Why?? What's wrong with localhost?? (IPv6 in /etc/hosts maybe???)

NX doesn't need to.

Upon being lauched, tcsh/csh always runs ~/.tcshrc (if it
exists or else ~/.cshrc if it exists), regardless of what
kicks it off . .  .
unless you are telling it not to eg. tcsh -f

Do you maybe have a messy line in ~/.cshrc which is
stoppingif it running correctly.

I can run NX quite happily using tcsh without changing
anything.
