However, I am told that bash is Not a Good login shell for root because it uses resources that are not available early in the login process, which can cause grievous problems when trying to repair a system that has crashed. This is one of the reasons why csh is specified as the default boot shell for root. Now, my question is this: can I include a line to execute bash at the end of the .cshrc file to switch to bash without causing the above-mentioned problem? -- oooOOO O O O o * * * * * * o ___ _________ _________ ________ _________ _________ ___==_ V_=_=_DW ===--- Don Wilde [don@PartsNow.com] [http://www.PartsNow.com ] /oo0000oo-oo--oo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo--ooo-ooo---ooo-ooo---ooo-oo--oo
