So for those of us that want to go back to the way things should be,
(leaving root shell be /bin/sh)  I fire up vipw and change this:

root:*:0:0:Charlie &:/root:/usr/local/bin/bash

to this:

root:*:0:0:Charlie &:/root:/bin/sh

Right?

Then I keep using sudo all the time.  But if I need to do some big
work as root, I can su to root and get bash simply by typing:

/usr/local/bin/bash

Right?


Just want to be clear on this.

Thanks.
