Hello!

This question might be better suited to -ports,
but this package was recently discussed here, due to its vulnerability. 

On Nov. 30, I downloaded tcsh-6.09.03_1 package from ftp.freebsd.org,
(for 3-STABLE), and installed it on a 3.5.1-RELEASE box
using pkg_add.

I've noticed one strange oddity: pkg_add replaced /usr/local/bin/tcsh
in /etc/shells with a strings "bin/tcsh" (see the Packing list below).

Why is it so ?

Thanks,

Igor
