Just to inject some religion into a perfectly legitimate technical discussion. I believe that leaving root's shell as csh is a Good Thing as it's a deterrant to unnecessary root activity. I'd *strongly* urge that you follow Chris Fedde's suggestion and install sudo (it's in /usr/ports/security/sudo) and experiment with using that as a wrapper around tasks which you need root privlidges to accomplish. -- ________________________________________________________________________ |David McNett |To ensure privacy and data integrity this message has| |nugget@slacker.com|been encrypted using dual rounds of ROT-13 encryption| |Birmingham, AL USA|Please encrypt all important correspondence with PGP!| To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
