The https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/linux-users/shells.html page claims
that tcsh(1) is the default shell on FreeBSD. This is clearly not true since
sh(1) is the shell of choise for any shell scripts such as rc(8) scripts. Only
the root's default interactive shell is csh(1).

The section could be rewritten to state that the /bin/sh shell is not
shells/bash as it is on Linux usually but a Bourne compatible shell without the
bash specific extensions. It should also make a point about the root's default
interactive shell being csh(1).
