   I tried same in our systems and discovered NO sh users.  Now, that
   is peculiar, as I know of at least one.  Careful inspection showed
   that his entry in the /etc/passwd didn't have a shell field.   That
   defaults to /bin/sh.  So, you too might be undercounting your sh
   users, if their entries are just defaulting.

Or where you count it might make a difference. At TPC, most people
sh or ksh. On a BSD derived system, most everyone uses csh or tcsh.
BRL might be an exception. BTW, how many people actually use a System V
environment on machines that provide dual universes? Are those companys
merely practicing their porting skills?
