But I don't change root's shell, because I don't want it pointing off to /usr/local. If there were a base bash-like shell, I'd use it so long as it had tab completion and up/down arrow for history recall. FWIW, our current sh(1) already provides that, with the caveat that the completion works fine for paths, but not quite for commands themselves.
