In UNIX, it is always recommended not to change root's shell. This is because, especially on commercially available systems, you have to update the systems using whatever packages and assumptions built in. In free UNIX systems, it is also recommended for similar reasons. On top of that, if you screw up, you can't call in for support so you have to learn to know your system pretty well. -- http://www.glumbert.com/media/shift http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGvHNNOLnCk "This officer's men seem to follow him merely out of idle curiosity." -- Sandhurst officer cadet evaluation.
