"rc" is used here as default shell for our students - mainly on Solaris, but also on SGI Irix and Digital Unix. Most of them (actually > 400 ) never change to "*sh", so "rc" "proves" to be sufficient. Well, our yppasswd won't allow you to alter your login shell if the name starts with "r", but that's another story. Version 1.5beta was ported to Solaris (2.4) long ago, fixing some ugly problems with signal handling. We also started POSIXifying the code, but there is still some more work to do. We are not that interested in any new features, but we'd like to share our modifications with the community and see a finalized version of "rc" which compiles quietly and runs on (at least) standard UNIX systems. - -Peter -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3i Charset: ascii iQCVAgUBMxxcuxePjvYGi6TZAQHEUAP+OXv/Ybay8obqDb5CYzTBfBYVy6JNy2tT M1/5cOMcf5C2NmaQs6XkXrW9yQBC4VJl030NhVJoQFRGrmYGTk0cl/TTsjmkIbfj yerIx6bVjWOnKwccJWjl5+w4hsvkjAA3pOKyWFNuuUmM3g/moz3cbJ0v+qObbMdj OromKUT9y1Q= =iC+x -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
