I have changed back to csh. Your system should have a "toor" account as well. It is just a second root account, whose essential purpose is to provide a root account that you can fiddle with to your heart's content without endangering the main root account. Note that the toor account can break things on the system just as much as the root account; if you break the toor account itself, though, you still have access to the main root account to get yourself out of trouble. Thus, if you *really* want a superuser account with bash as its default shell, you can always use toor for that purpose. I don't much see the point in setting a superuser account to use bash anyway -- or any other account, really -- but the option is there if you must have it. Just don't change the shell for the root account itself that way; it's bad for you, with lots of fatty calories, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, and other stuff your body should not be ingesting on a regular basis. --=20 Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] --veXX9dWIonWZEC6h Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAk1j+AkACgkQ9mn/Pj01uKVNZACgtFhW/mwVPG8z8yfauB5xeomz hbEAnjBHbvIzfHwmbYJdvFvxFtF/10zQ =W8sa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --veXX9dWIonWZEC6h--
