I just tried it.  Setting the last field of /etc/passwd to
/bin/start_csh, /bsd4.2/bin/start_csh both end up with the bourne shell
getting executed.  DN3000 running 9.7.1.

BTW, to make rexec work, you have to link /bin to /bsd4.2/bin.  If it
is linked to the usual $(systype)/bin, you can't actually do RCP or
RSH.

I'm not really surprised.
