Description Dan Ponte 2004-07-15 21:10:20 UTC 
	/bin/csh is the same as /bin/tcsh. /bin/csh should be the 4.4BSD csh, which is currently in ports (shells/44bsd-csh). This is useful when, for example, one needs a statically-linked csh instead of tcsh (which requires ncurses, libcrypt, and libc).

Fix: 

Build shells/44bsd-csh and move the resulting binary to /bin/csh.
How-To-Repeat: 	Use a FreeBSD system.

From-To: open->closed

This was discussed at length in 2000 when /bin/csh was replaced by tcsh. 
The compromise was the creation of the 44bsd-csh port, which users are welcome 
to install and point to by default.
