well, I left it as /bin/sh and left the .profile as is and life is
beautiful and I managed to solve an old problem that I had temp fixed -
which was mostly apache related since the software has a java-based
apache driven user interface and every time I tried to launch the apache
daemon, it wouldn't have the user's environment variables which was
worse when trying to shut it down.
Thanks for the fish
