I think there's a big difference between a default shell (read "for non-root users") and root's shell. I see no technical reason (and if there is, it needs to be amended) to not keep these two seperate. IMO, changing the root shell to anything but /bin/sh (esp. something as incompatible as *csh) is a bad move. There's just too much that depends on this. > Kris cheers Michael -- Michael.Schuster@germany.sun.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
