 652807 -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin        477692 Mar 21  2000 bash*
 652860 -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin        306453 Apr  7  2000 tcsh*
 652861 lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root            4 Apr  5  2001 csh -> tcsh*
 652879 -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin         59628 Aug  3  1999 ash*
 652882 -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin        338536 Jun 14  2000 zsh*
 653126 -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root           30 Oct  4  2001 rbash*
$ uname
Linux

I'm using 95% of the time FreeBSD and OpenBSD, and I said this because Linux uses bash, and AFAIK csh is linked to bash, and in the same time csh on FreeBSD is tcsh.

NAME

       shells - shell database

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/shells

DESCRIPTION

       The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser-
       shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.

       A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by  the  routines
       which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.

       The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/ksh93, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh,
       /bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/ksh93, /usr/bin/pfcsh,
       /usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh, and /usr/sfw/bin/zsh. /etc/shells overrides the default list.

       Invalid shells in /etc/shells could cause unexpected behavior, such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1).
