I think you are incorrect about root using the sh shell as default. My new fresh install of 4.9 uses csh as the root default shell. I did nothing to make this happen, that's the way the system was installed from the cdrom install disk. I am to only one on this stand-a-lone system and ps ax command shows me as csh. The /etc/csh.cshrc does set the defaults for new users added to the system, but has no effect on root. Had the edit root .cshrc file to set env defaults for root. But thanks for the pointer to /etc/csh.cshrc -----Original Message----- From: Charles Swiger [mailto:cswiger@mac.com] Sent: Monday, January 12, 2004 1:44 PM To: fbsd_user@a1poweruser.com Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.

Look at /etc/profile and /etc/csh.cshrc. [ Note that root has /bin/sh as it's shell, whereas normal users will be using csh by default. This matters because different shells have different syntax and config file locations. ] -- -Chuck
