If your concern is that you won't be able to log in to single-user mode, consider that you will be prompted for a shell in any case (at least I am). If your concern is that you would like to have bash available in single user mode as well, make sure it is statically linked. If you will be installing from ports, the following should work (if I'm reading the Makefile correctly): cd /usr/ports/shells/bash2 make -DWANT_STATIC_BASH install clean -- Danny MacMillan
