> SHELL is set by ksh and not by sh (sh handles NETBSD_SHELL), if I'm > not mistaken? login(1) sets $SHELL, and in the BSD world it has done so since 4.2 or before. In the AT&T Unix world it has done so since at least System III, aka UNIX 3.0. IIRC in 7th Edition Research Unix since there was only one /bin/sh and no possibility of any other so no need to clutter the environment declaring its name. Even system(3) hard-codes /bin/sh into the library, and that continues on the exact same way until 10th Edition. sh(1)'s NETBSD_SHELL is something entirely different and unrelated. -- Greg A.
