Oh no, it has nothing to do with luck. It's on purpose that /bin/sh is a
link to /bin/bash on slackware. This allows to define a default shell
for those who leave the field empty. So, if you want, you may define
another default shell.
ash is quite popular on slackware:
/ash (Kenneth Almquist's ash shell)/
/A lightweight (92K) Bourne compatible shell. Great for machines
with low memory, but does not provide all the extras of shells
like bash, tcsh <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tcsh>, and zsh
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zsh>. Runs most shell scripts
compatible with the Bourne shell. Note that under Linux, most
scripts seem to use at least some bash-specific syntax. The
Slackware setup scripts are a notable exception, since ash is
the shell used on the install disks. NetBSD uses ash as its
/bin/sh./
There are many other choices than the old "sh".
