there is.  you did.
it's just the two programs are completely different ( other than both
being shells ) and so they have different global config files.

you could always get rid of csh and use the one true shell.  that way
you would have only one config file to change.

on my MDK system, you can just drop files into /etc/profile.d anything
ending in .sh gets sourced by sh shells, as do .csh files for csh.
IMHO, this is a much better way of doing things.
