What do you think about making /bin/bash the default? I think it's a bad idea, because some systems do not have and want bash, because it's unneeded. On all systems here we've ash as /bin/sh and /bin/zsh as primary user shell. Thus, /bin/bash does not exist, because it's not as comfortable as zsh and not as small as ash. Nico, who really likes man bash (very well documentated), but not the shell it= self --=20 Latest project: cconfig (http://nico.schotteli.us/papers/linux/cconfig/) Open Source nutures open minds and free, creative developers. --WChQLJJJfbwij+9x Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iQIVAwUBQzb5z7OTBMvCUbrlAQKB2Q//UprLM6bqeUdwxCSj5DmWHzuolEJ+JUne 4rFm4Ymujn5SMLLko8a3DqxrWsWW9E0aSNGQN2svaUrK09hAWarD0BTB4Pl28QVz IVCaP/fOGsYzcecvk4RnIL/EKP/BibpQpgTkKCvuBXOoABVlV7Cn6m9Ul7RXQAq2 /ECRascNEBAO91XXBRPnep2zat1+uB8tiJWDMFyzt0ygq7V6yzXaTtSqcAZBeBYe vuaqt4e2DomZskk95sozSi/PC99x3fgs8xslV7X/zsuUgGWGopib4wJkphlOuT8i +QA/Fmr9eGjmZGVASeqXADAt2GQRuMeki/N9vgqLWaZG2hYQPn52m4BkK8vD65w7 b8oIZtpDVv0EWhkKLDU9KTZfAlEqljObvrYtcumo3iU7CZ4ED49ta1Dw1bEHLAK4 FgagbPRd3kv6ZC3s8FG6J3DYWsP7mvsf5KCNqkzmcp/OOrJt2vR40rK6lj3pHWX+ Cqk1ltZZXkv1Y4svoOj5DdM/fAqhhd8cCqI5MmA0z5AC2ueiiovU9IjuiDW0RkI1 FRX7VDSAXkAittdssgjVu1FVMnO9MIcA7BeTsZ24F563IifmBga8UxXQ/TJEZDd3 gQvH+E7JiMg6BRm9via48gKj9hQrB87U6IKxTvN7YyLqyIMWsm/05ItEskQn9++4 EQ7y+fD3xHY= =MYUx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --WChQLJJJfbwij+9x--
