Sure. You can change shells if you want. I don't think it would be wise to do so on the root account (why are you logging in as root anyway?), but it can be done. > Routinely done on HP-UX boxes inside of HP. If not, then why?

I was pointing out that copying one binary file delivered as part of the operating system on top of another as an "administrative configuration" mechanism was itself insupportable. At least in part, it won't work because the standard upgrade process will revert your change without bothering to tell you what's happening. It's no more supportable than deciding to open a hex editor and changing the 357th byte of /lib/libc.so.1 from 20 to 40 because you like that number better. ;-} If you attempt the 'cp' command that the previous poster suggested, then you're on your own. You're a test pilot. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
