Sure, Bash is bloatware in some respects (and, so I've heard, buggy in others), but I have not found another shell that I found as "comfortable" and convenient. On the other hand, if it had command and filename completion, I'd switch to /bin/sh. I use /bin/sh for root, but actually I do most root work with "sudo bash". At my home system, root's /bin/sh checks if /usr/local/bin/bash exists and execs it. -- Juergen Nickelsen Tellique Kommunikationstechnik GmbH Gustav-Meyer-Allee 25, 13355 Berlin, Germany Tel. +49 30 46307-552 / Fax +49 30 46307-579 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
