something i use for itd and progsoc machines in my tcshrc:

if ( -r $HOME/.watches ) then
set watch=(1 `cat $HOME/.watches | grep . | awk '{printf $1 " any "}'`)
endif

and a file in your root directory called .watches contain just the logon
names for ppl for that machine:

ftoomsh[~]:5 >cat .watches
daniel
rheise
mestela
musicman
nerdimac
sherlock
mdunc
