I'm having some troubles due to this change. I'm using bash, and the
new /etc/profile exports SHELL=bash.

This breaks ssh when using a ProxyCommand. I have this in my
~/.ssh/config file:

Host somehost
     ProxyCommand ssh -q otherhost /usr/bin/nc %h %p

When I try to ssh to somehost, I get:

% ssh somehost
bash: No such file or directory
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

If I set SHELL to /bin/bash (which is how it was defaulted before it
was set in /etc/profile), everything works fine.
