ubuntu 9.10: useradd default shell option

hello all,
I have just built my first sd card containing ubuntu 9.10 for the
beagleboard.
I created a new user called "meereck", isnt that a mistake that a new
user has "/bin/sh" configured instead of "/bin/bash"?

ubuntu:x:1000:1002:Ubuntu System User:/home/ubuntu:/bin/
bash
meereck:x:1001:1003::/home/meereck:/bin/sh

Thanks in advance

So to clarify,
After you add a new user, you have to change his shell to "/bin/bash",
otherwise when that user logs on via console, he cannot issue any bash
commands.
I think the default configration in BeagleBoard is wrong, it should be
"/bin/bash" as default.
Cheers

No, it's correct for ubuntu/debian, as they both default to 'dash' for
/bin/sh vs. 'bash'... If you want to force bash as default, "sudo
dpkg-reconfigure dash"..

Regards,

Ok, thanks for clarifying.
