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?
