nope, /bin/sh may have been changed to point to dash instead of bash,
but new users are created with their shell set to bash.  Every new
account I've set up on every ubuntu box i've set up lately gets bash as
their shell.

You may all be thinking "default shell" means the shell new users are
set with to what sh points to.
