  • 1.  tcsh doesn't modify /etc/shells, but bash does

    Posted Mon June 28, 2021 12:50 PM
    Greetings!

    The bash package form the AIX Toolbox has set my expectations by modifying /etc/shells, but  the tcsh-6.11-3.aix5.1.ppc.rpm package does not.

    Liberty,

    I think it is wrong to modify /etc/shells for AIX toolbox provided tools.
    Probably we should not add that for bash and zsh as well.
