Boy, have I been out of it.
I've been putting the following into root's .login to get ksh/bash vi
functionality.
if ( -x /usr/local/bin/bash & -x /usr/local/bin/ssh-agent ) then
setenv ENV "$HOME/.bashrc
setenv SHELL "/usr/local/bin/bash"
exec /usr/local/bin/ssh-agent /usr/local/bin/bash
endif
But sh seems to have a lot the features of bash and it's statically linked
and lives in /bin, so I'm now using it for the root shell.
.profile has this at the end now to get the ssh stuff going...
[ -x /usr/local/bin/ssh-agent -a -s /usr/lib/libc.so.3.0 ] && {
export ENV SHELL
ENV=$HOME/.shrc
SHELL=/bin/sh
exec /usr/local/bin/ssh-agent /bin/sh
}
sh does the set -o vi thing and has job control. I think it makes a good
safe root shell.
