This is why you set up a test login and install either sh or csh 
(which ever you happen to be working on) someplace like /usr/local/testbin.
After it has been proven to work you then move the OLD shell to something
like csh.OLD and install the NEW shell.

	The site that I work for functions as a service center, thus
our users ask for a selectable, adjustable idle timer.  This was
installed with a total investment of LESS than 10 lines of code, as most
of the calls already exist. I realize that daemons seem to be the way
that MOST things are handled in UN*X, but why complicate a rather easy
task. (provided that you have source).
