I have sshd running on a solaris system.  Due to various reasons my user

It looks something like this

if [ -e /usr/bin/bash ]
 exec /usr/bin/bash
 exit
fi

You should not be doing this in .cshrc.  You should be doing it in .login.

Since "ssh host" spawns a login shell, it will read both .cshrc and .login,
which gives the result you desire.  "ssh host date" will spawn a NON-login
shell, which only reads .cshrc, and then runs the date command.

(At least, if I remember my csh well enough.)
