I'm not sure if this is what you wanted to know. THe discussion seems to
concentrate on *which* program to use as a alternative shell. I thought you
wanted to know *how* to configure a program to be used as a shell. WIth the
risk of telling you what you already know here's how (IIRC!):
Say you have a program: /usr/local/bin/myshell and you want this to become
your default shell. What you do is:
1. Edit the file /etc/shells and add the line:
/usr/local/bin/myshell
2. Then use moduser (or was it usermod?) or something like that to modify
the login shell of the user in question. Try 'man adduser' or 'man useradd'
(I keep forgetting). It will point you to the correct command/syntax.
