export MANPAGER="/usr/bin/less" export SVN_EDITOR="/usr/local/bin/emacs" export PKG_PATH="ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/4.2/packages/i386/"; if [ "$SHELL" = "/bin/pdksh" ]; then PS1='! $ ' elif [ "$SHELL" = "/bin/ksh" ]; then PS1='[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w\$ ' elif [ "$SHELL" = "/bin/zsh" ]; then PS1='[EMAIL PROTECTED]:%~%# ' elif [ "$SHELL" = "/bin/ash" ]; then PS1='$ ' else PS1='[EMAIL PROTECTED]:\w\$ ' fi I've used to change the root shell to bash in the past.
