Like I suspected (tested on OpenSUSE Leap 42.3):
/etc/csh.login: # Remark: /proc/sys/kernel/domainname and the program domainname # its self will provide the NIS/YP domainname, see domainname(8). if ( -s /etc/HOSTNAME ) then if (! ${?HOSTNAME} ) setenv HOSTNAME
cat /etc/HOSTNAMEelse if (! ${?HOSTNAME} ) setenv HOSTNAME $HOST endifThis should use "set" to set the variable, not setenv. Can you do me a favor and report this as a bug upstream?
I'm not sure if this is a bug. Wouldn't it make sense that the variable is set for a login shell (csh.login is executed then) and is inherited by any other tcsh spawned from that shell? Otherwise, starting a new instance by just typing "tcsh" would have $HOSTNAME undefined. While this would help for the special case with x2go, I don't think it would be correct in general. For using set, HOSTNAME should be defined in csh.cshrc so that every tcsh get's the same value. I can ask SuSE about that.
