> Does anyone know how to change the root shell from csh to bash?

It is my understanding that changing root's shell is A Bad Thing.
You shouldn't be running as root often enough for it to be an
inconvenience anyway.

There is an account "toor" which also has UID 0, and uses bash
as it's login shell.
