Change default shell on Ysul for new users

Description

Currently, shell is sh, which is not an acceptable default.

Switch to tcsh or bash.

Possibilities for a default shell

A normal default for FreeBSD would be csh or tcsh.

A normal default for 2015 would be zsh in a dream world, bash in the real world.

Traditionnaly, we used tcsh, so it's probably more conservative.

As far as I know based on public shell servers expericence, our users kept tcsh or switched to bash. Nobody switched to csh, some on zsh.
