Setup a new Shell Default

With a little creativity you can create a new shell for users that can be customiaed to suit your needs, rather than editting default ones.
Then all you need to do is tell scoadmin to use that shell by default.
cd /usr/lib/mkuser cp -r sh <newshellname>
the can be anything you want, keep it simple though. A good rule of thumb with sco....no more than 8 characters and no special characters. Its the name you will see in the passwd file and scoadmin when looking at accounts.

Then make it the default shell.
vi /etc/default/accounts
change SHELL=sh to SHELL=

save and quit.

Alternatively you can use "scoadmin account manager" and go to Options, User defaults and set it there.

Create a new user and it should get your new default shell.
