Title:          metash - common configuration file for all shells
Version:        0.3
Entered-date:   29Nov97
Description:    metash is a meta shell, as the name implies. It reads
                3 configuration files and sets environment, umask and
                resource limits depending on user name or UID ranges.

                If these are set, it starts the (implicit) specified
                user shell.

Keywords:       envrionment umask resource limits shell bash tcsh csh zsh ksh
