1. Currently there is no /etc/bash.bashrc (e.g. the bash binary is
compiled without support for this file) and AFAIK no /etc/csh.cshrc
either
2. There is /etc/profile (for login shells) and /etc/ksh.kshrc (for
_interactive_ ksh93 shells) but both are "going away" in the near
future, being replaced by /etc/env.d/ (e.g. instead of modifying
/etc/profile , /etc/ksh.kshrc, /etc/bash.bashrc you put "scriptlets"
into /etc/env.d/shell_interactive_start/)
