Changing the default shell is easy; that's probably what you want.

 useradd -D -s /bin/tcsh


Except that it doesn't work :-(; you can edit /etc/sadm/defadduser but
certainly this looks like a bug in useradd we need to fix.

(The first useradd -D invocation will create the above mentioned
file; you can then change the default shell)
