SMIT will look at the environment variable 'SHELL' to determine the 
users preferred shell.  Usually it is something like '/bin/csh'.  SMIT 
will start that program as the new shell (/bin/ksh is assumed if SHELL
is not set).  You can set SHELL to any executable you desire, and when 
the user tries to open a shell in SMIT, that executable will be run 
instead of the shell.
