I will write an additional section for the newuser.html tutorial on something like "Your Working Environment" and explain how to install a new shell. This is probably where this belongs in any case. The copy of this on my own server gets accessed fairly often and I get occasional thank-you notes (as well as suggestions that I should explain "how to set up tcp/ip", which I'm not about to do), so apparently at least some people read it....and I think it's reduced the number of questions like "What is the name of the administrative account?", so it seems to have been worthwhile.
