No `#'?  How about just always send to the user's shell from the
password entry with a -c, as distinct from /bin/sh.

The problem is that some people (at least in the Elder TImes) would have
their login shell set to /bin/csh but they'd want their scripty things done in
/bin/sh.  (I used to do that myself, way back when csh had ! history and sh
didn't until it became bash).

Does anybody still do that?

Why yes, my login shell is /bin/tcsh and I program in sh, bash, perl.

bash has made huge strides since I ran csh, and one day I hope to 
switch over and have only one shell to worry about.

Cheerio...
