We are using tcsh on uVax II and DS5000 machines.  Just put it in /etc/shells
and in the password entry for the user.  We have had no such problems, but
we have had a problem in that users logging in to the console get csh.  It 
seems that dxterm uses csh no matter what their login shell is set to.  Any
suggestions?
