Some recent postings have suggested that root's shell can be anything--i.e., not limited to csh or sh. As I remember I once tried to change root's shell to tcsh and got into a lot of trouble--enough so that I'm reluctant to experiment. I thought if root's shell, to run, required access to /usr, this could be a problem if only / were mounted. With su -m, of course, root gets the shell of the user as part of the environment, so a change should not really be necessary. Clarification would be appreciated. Annelise
