Also, in case you want to set up root so that it will have bash as login shell but fail over to csh in case /usr isn't mountable, put these two lines at the end of /root/.cshrc: set DESIREDSHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash if (-f $DESIREDSHELL) exec $DESIREDSHELL --login This way, if you *can* use bash, you will, and if you can't, then you're still okay.
