I agree, that is why I mentioned csh and ksh as they are the base shells for OpenBSD.

$ cat /etc/shells
#       $OpenBSD: shells,v 1.5 1997/05/28 21:42:20 deraadt Exp $
# List of acceptable shells for chpass(1).
# Ftpd will not allow users to connect who are not using
# one of these shells.
/bin/sh
/bin/csh
/bin/ksh

Shouldn't we be testing what people know about the things included in
the base OS itself?


Granted you can add almost any shell from the ports, but shouldn't the
stock system be used?

I would think this would beg more difficult questions like, are you
going to test what editor people use?  Some people scp things into
windows and use notepad and copy back.. someone might use vi or emacs
or nano or pico..

I think people should be able to tell what's 'base' what comes in
'base' and some ports are general knowledge..

Whos to say that I should know how to configure bind if I use tinydns?
 Things like this would be simpler if we used 'base' and then built
off of that.
