I don't think anybody is getting your point and I think they never will, and it is the same mentality that has cost sun bigtime in last 3 years
Considering some of the illogical arguments against changing the default shell that we see in this dicussion, I am positive that quite many people are getting the point, at least me :).
Just as Rich doesn't speak for Sun or most people on the list, you shouldn't speak for "anybody" except yourself, right?
So let's don't put "Sun" or anyone who hasn't spoken for him/herself on one particular side of this discussion.
I vote for changing the default shell to a better one.
I personally prefer ksh over bash, mainly because I think it's _technically_ more efficient to use Esc-k and the traditional vi-key-mode than those cursor keys.
I remember there was a "library dependency" argument against changing the default shell for root.
However at least in Solaris 10:
# ldd /bin/sh
libgen.so.1 => /lib/libgen.so.1
libsecdb.so.1 => /lib/libsecdb.so.1
libc.so.1 => /lib/libc.so.1
libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1
libcmd.so.1 => /lib/libcmd.so.1
libmp.so.2 => /lib/libmp.so.2
libmd5.so.1 => /lib/libmd5.so.1
libscf.so.1 => /lib/libscf.so.1
libdoor.so.1 => /lib/libdoor.so.1
libuutil.so.1 => /lib/libuutil.so.1
libm.so.2 => /lib/libm.so.2
I guess the argument it's no longer true?
So we have heard from the "conservative" side of the CAB, any "liberals"? :-)
