All login shells in the FreeBSD base system are statically linked -
they are all placed in /bin, and everything in /bin and /sbin *must*
be statically linked for obvious reasons (think NFS-mounted /usr).

As others pointed out, yes, the toor account is disabled by default.
and yes, toor owns all the root-owned files on the system :)

G'luck,
Peter
