>Also, never change the shell for root. It needs to be as it is for some >things to work right. I have been using bash for root shell some time now without noticing any problems. My bash is statically linked and I have moved it to /bin. What kind of problems should I expect? I even tried to replace /bin/sh with bash, but some startup script used 'set' builtin with -T option. Bash didn't like that. I didn't dig into that deeper. -- Cheers, Petri Metis / Petri Riihikallio GSM: +358 400 505 939 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
