In general, all "dot" files (.login, .bashrc, .xinitrc) should be in your
home directory. In fact, I'm having a hard time coming up with a "dot"
file which should not be in your home directory.
If you don't have a particular file, it doesn't mean that it's somewhere
else. It just means that you don't have it.
Different programs use different files:
csh: .login .cshrc
X11: .xinitrc
Bash: .bashrc .profile
mutt: .muttrc
procmail: .procmailrc
etc. The man pages for the various programs will tell you what uses what.
