Hi,

Currently the default shell is set to bash as a work around.

You can verify that by issuing

~# echo $0

If you want the appliance shell just type

~# appliancesh

Note: I have however found that if we change the default shell back to appliance shell (root:x:0:0:root:/root:appliancesh), I am unable to login to the root account. This could be a bug, we will have this validate.
