Hm.
Coincidentally, that's just what I do.
I just never use it:
[2:05:47] mortis:~
(ttyp3):{122}% head -2 /etc/passwd
root:*:0:0:The Devil Himself:/root:/bin/sh
toor:*:0:0:The Devil Backwards:/root:/bin/tcsh
And I have su aliased to 'su toor' in my .tcshrc.
Oh, and BTW:
(ttyp3):{124}% ll /bin/csh /bin/tcsh /usr/local/bin/tcsh
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 282032 Mar 14 03:56 /bin/csh*
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 468768 May 11 1999 /bin/tcsh*
-r-xr-xr-x 1 bin bin 254536 May 11 1999 /usr/local/bin/tcsh*
Not all that much bigger at all...
