I have checked adduser and useradd commands too, and I think it should have the same default shell in both.
It's weird to have different values. By the way, to reply to unggnu, the default is set to /bin/sh because this should be just a link to the default shell used on the system. It was ok then, when Ubuntu was still using bash as the target of /bin/sh, but from edgy, it has changed to dash instead of bash (to reduce the memory footprint if I remember correctly). -- newly added users have sh instead of bash shell in Edgy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/64700 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
