Make it so.
The whole rest of rc, pkg, base scripts and subsystems use a lot of
sh, not csh.
So this is a good compatibility, consistancy, and gotcha-removing
update,
needed for decades.
Even "bash" is a majority spoken shell in Linux/world, helping
make crossovers if BSD becomes a bit more bash-like.
More bashism and linuxism in BSD world, you are waking the devil.
The bsd sh feature updates are filling useful/needed capability gaps.
Moving to sh without maintain the same history search behavior (start
of the command and Up & Down arrows) are like cutting one leg.
The (t)csh is what I really like on every FreeBSD machine. Never seen
good configured bash (prompt + history search) on any other OS I ever
visited. Not saying it is not possible but if FreeBSD will switch
default shell to something else I expect to do it the way that it is
more user friendly and powerful than on other OSes where everything is
leaved to "users can customize it". Current state of sh behavior is
really that "bad" way.
we are talking of the default sehll for the root user. One does not
really work as root user, but if son nothing stops who ever wants to
to exec zsh or exec tcsh?
It seems like "nobody" and "everybody" mistaken words. If "one" really
does not work as root user then what is the meaning of the first
paragraph from Baptiste's message and why change something?
