Log Message: -----------
Seems like the source of all my pains is Installer.app, which aparently limits the environment I run under in some way and forces SHELL to /bin/sh always (even if I run as a login shell, it just doesn't seem to be possible to get to the user's info), rendering useless the `case` routine that tries to determine the shell I need to tweak.
As a lame workaround, I'm going to glob for *sh to match /bin/sh and thus still write my settings to the common profile file, leaving all those *csh users out there a bit in dispair.
Could you read the user's real shell like this? USHELL="$(nicl . -read /users/rschmidt shell | sed 's/^shell: //'')"
