(no /usr/lib available) I really don't think it's that much of a big deal. If you are booting into single user mode you get asked what you want for shell anyways.

The approach I usually take is make roots shell tcsh and activate the toor account with /bin/csh as the login shell. That way if I need a non single user root account when tcsh is screwed up I have a way in. > the 'local' subtree is there for a reason. Now that I agree with.
