Hello, I always leave my root shell as /bin/sh and if I want to use a different shell I type the shell name at the prompt after logging in: screwdriver# screwdriver# bash bash-2.03# But, normally I just su to root using the -m option which lets you keep your environment the same and consequently, your shell. Hope this helps.. Theo On Fri, 7 Jul 2000, Jason C. Wells wrote: > I would add that to follow convention, leave the root user shell set to > /bin/sh and use advanced (sic) shells with toor.
