I'm not sure what you mean here; are you opting for the removal of the /bin/sh symlink? That would break *a lot*, since many scripts/programs depend on it, and POSIX says there should always be a /bin/sh. That's quite probably the reason for useradd to default to /bin/sh as well, and since CRUX doesn't do much distro specific configuration, that's what it ends up like in a fresh install. As usual, if you don't like the defaults, just change them; that's the user's task, not CRUX's... Gr. Sander.
