Well, that's probably overly precise enough to require customing
anyway. However, it should be fairly easy for you to add hooks into a
/usr/local/etc/rc.conf for it. F'r'instance, my .tcshrc (on my
website) checks for both .tcshrc.`hostname -s` and .tcshrc.`hostname`
(though the strings are determined differently for portability) for
local settings, so I can share my $HOME across multiple machines and
have different env variables and aliases without making a bunch of
unreadable conditionals in the file.
