So what? Remember that they were also once "fish out of water" with Linux, too.

Note that I have recommended to read the manual page for tcsh as well.

And do what, take the path of least resistence? That is not always the best 
path to take. And in this particular case, you're doing such a user a 
disservice.

Ugh. My skin is crawling just from reading that paragraph. We've been through 
this a number of times already. Can it be done? Yes. Will it work? It should, 
we're assured. Should the root's shell be changed to bash? Definitely not. ksh, 
fine, if it must be; ksh93, fine; tcsh, fine; zsh, fine. But can we please kill 
the bash abomination on Solaris, and wean users off of it?
Solaris is supposed to be all about better things in computing.
