Why have a different root account? 2. i keep using chsh to change shells, but it seems to affect the opposite account ! I set root to /bin/sh and toor to bash, but when i reboot, it's the other way around !?! -jm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
