really? so i take it these are non-linux systems.
come to think of it, there MUST be a linux tool to change your default shell
without invoking rootly powers. something so you don't have to go editing
passwd for every joe blow who wants to login using csh rather than
bash.
imho, that should go under "user configurable", not "ask the sysadmin for
permission".
