Is there a different master.passwd somewhere that's used when MK_TCSH is on? Oh, I see! bin/csh/Makefile does some `sed'ing. But it's not clear at all why you added the (incorrect) `sed'ing in r337849 in the first place. root's shell should be /bin/csh in master.passwd, and left alone. Maybe, if *csh* -- not *tcsh* -- were disabled, then `sed'ing to make root's shell /bin/sh would make sense. But I can't think of any reason master.passwd would start off with /bin/sh rather than /bin/csh. What am I missing?
