[comp.sys.apollo] SR10.1.p cannot start csh on spm server console

If you have a simple terminal attached to sio.spm on your DSP10000,
and you login via the spm "sh" command, you cannot start /bin/csh
since it will be immediately suspended ('T' status in /bin/ps).
This is terribly annoying if you have /bin/csh as your login shell.
Perhaps /dev/sio1 is a strange device for bsd, but even if you try to
'/bin/csh </dev/console' it does not work.

Because of problems in spm, you can't use csh or ksh on a DSP console.
You also can't use ksh in a crp window (because of the same problems).
This (more than likely) won't be fixed in sr10.x
