1. You confused two things - system $SHELL (sh or /bin/sh) and user login shell are not the same thing. 2. By default, user login shell is /bin/bash. 3. When new user account is being created by the installer, files are being copied from /etc/skel to new user's $HOME. 4. root has /bin/sh as its $SHELL Every time you create an account using high-level adduser utility /bin/bash is being suggested, when using low-level useradd utility however /bin/sh is the default. Hope this sheds some light. Regards, -- Raf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
