Of course. The sh shell doesn't have setenv.
It looks like he is actually using csh, because in the Bourne shell
issuing that command usually yields "setenv: not found". His problem
is that, unlike "export", setenv doesn't take an "=" between the
variable and the value to be assigned to it. See csh(1).
Yes, you're right of course, I didn't notice that. The correct
syntax for the setenv command in the C shell is
setenv VAR "value"
When you are directed to builtin(1), it usually means that you should
refer to the manpage(s) of the shell that you are using for the
information that you need.
That's why I suggested looking at csh's manpage. :-(
I am using root and have a pristine install on freebsd 8.0 so what ever
the default shell for root is, is what I am using.
