So long as bash is statically linked and properly located, there should not be an issue. But most folks (linux users) aren't aware of the implications of dynamic linking and such.

Leave root's shell alone unless you know what you're doing and bash is built appropriately. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Root-shell-tp22274005p22293187.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
