#4174 closed bug (fixed)

the default shell should be bash

Description

Terminal's default shell is /bin/sh (1). While sh links to bash, this causes bash to mimic the startup behavior of sh (2). For example, bash will try to source ~/.profile instead of ~/.bash_profile. Is it necessary for bash to run in this compatibility mode.

Should be fixed now. Terminal uses getpwuid() and uses the shell of the current user since hrev34902.
